[RFC,0/3] support for filtering trees and blobs based on depth

Message

This adds support for depth >0 in the tree:<depth> filter. Before this patch,
only <depth>=0 is supported, which means all trees and blobs are filtered.

The purpose of this is to allow fetching of entire directories in a partial
clone use case. If I do a partial clone of a repo with no objects and then want
to do something like "make" it will be quite slow of we initiate a separate
fetch for every file needed. Alternatively, fetching directories at a time -
as soon as any file in a directory is accessed - is a reasonable approach.

Thank you,
