The list-objects-filter code has two steps to its initialization:

  1. parse_list_objects_filter() makes sure the spec is a filter we know
     about and is syntactically correct. This step is done by "rev-list"
     or "upload-pack" that is going to apply a filter, but also by "git
     clone" or "git fetch" before they send the spec across the wire.

  2. list_objects_filter__init() runs the type-specific initialization
     (using function pointers established in step 1). This happens at
     the start of traverse_commit_list_filtered(), when we're about to
     actually use the filter.

It's a good idea to parse as much as we can in step 1, in order to catch
problems early (e.g., a blob size limit that isn't a number). But one
thing we _shouldn't_ do is resolve any oids at that step (e.g., for
sparse-file contents specified by oid). In the case of a fetch, the oid
has to be resolved on the remote side.

The current code does resolve the oid during the parse phase, but
ignores any error (which we must do, because we might just be sending
the spec across the wire). This leads to two bugs:

  - if we're not in a repository (e.g., because it's git-clone parsing
    the spec), then we trigger a BUG() trying to resolve the name

  - if we did hit the error case, we still have to notice that later and
    bail. The code path in rev-list handles this, but the one in
    upload-pack does not, leading to a segfault.

We can fix both by moving the oid resolution into the sparse-oid init
function. At that point we know we have a repository (because we're
about to traverse), and handling the error there fixes the segfault.

As a bonus, we can drop the NULL sparse_oid_value check in rev-list,
since this is now handled in the sparse-oid-filter init function.

Looks like this comment is no longer true after merging with
md/list-objects-filter-combo, which is in 'next'.

We can obviously deal with it during the merge, but it probably makes
sense to just be more defensive from the start. Here's a revised version
of patch 2, with these changes:

Subject: [PATCH] list-objects-filter: delay parsing of sparse oid

     the start of traverse_commit_list_filtered(), when we're about to
     actually use the filter.

It's a good idea to parse as much as we can in step 1, in order to catch

Makes sense.  Thanks for a clean solution to a messy problem.
