[PATCH] Mark http-fetch without -a as deprecated

From: Ben Walton <hidden>

Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Possibly related (same subject, not in this thread)

As the use of http-fetch without -a can create an object store that is
invalid to the point where it cannot even be fsck'd, mark it as
deprecated.  A future release should change the default and then
remove the option entirely.
