Thanks, I'm happy to see this merged.

Likewise. I promised you and Jonathan Nieder a follow-up series in [1]
to move some of the declarations in commit.h to a new shallow.h, and to
introduce a 'struct shallow_lock'. I have those patches locally, but
I'll send them shortly.

I'm _very_ glad to see this one merged ;).

Reroll coming shortly, sorry about the trouble here.

I know this series has been kind of a slog, but I would like to hold off
on the last patch to introduce '--no-check-oids' here. The other patches
all seem to be set (and were mostly already reviewed when I sent this
series for the first time), but the last patch still is under discussion
[2].

My thought is that we could either replace that patch with one to
silently ignore non-commits always, or keep it and rename it to
'--[no-]verify-oids' with some minor documentation changes.

In either case, the rest of the series is ready to merge, and other
topics depend on it, so I figure that we can merge the first 6 patches
and hold off on the last one for now.

Sound good?

Thanks,
Taylor
