[PATCH] fetch-pack: trace packfile URI downloads

From: Ted Nyman <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-26 08:33:12
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

When a protocol v2 fetch includes packfile URIs, the client downloads
each advertised pack in a separate http-fetch process. Existing Trace2
regions cover negotiation, but not the time spent downloading these
packs or the number of advertised URIs.

Add a Trace2 region around the packfile URI download loop and record the
number of URIs. This makes the cost of downloading external packs
visible without emitting an event for each pack.

Extend the existing packfile URI test to verify the region and count.
