[PATCH v3 0/1] rev-list: add --missing-only option to filter output

[Siddharth Asthana <siddharthasthana31@gmail.com>]

Hi,

v2 added --missing-only as a filter next to --missing=print /
--missing=print-info. Junio asked how the missing list is used, so
this v3 only updates the log message.

It is a one-shot walk. Gitaly uses --missing=print when packing a
quarantine and treats '?' lines as objects that must already be in
the main repo. Tests do the same (is this blob still missing).
--missing-only is that list without the prefix, not a fetch loop.

Based on 1630431f32 (The 21st batch, 2026-08-31).

Changes from v2:
- Stronger motivation in the commit message (Junio).
- Link to v2:

Thanks,
Siddharth
