[PATCH 0/2] fetch: write commit-graph using updated refs only

["Kristofer Karlsson via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

When fetch.writeCommitGraph is enabled, the commit-graph is currently
rebuilt from all reachable refs after every fetch. This is unnecessarily
expensive on repositories with many refs, since add_ref_to_set() validates
each ref against the odb.

This series optimizes the commit-graph write by using only the newly updated
refs as seeds instead of scanning all refs. It introduces a three-mode enum
(REACHABLE / TIPS / SKIP) to make the policy explicit:

 * No-op fetch: skip the commit-graph write entirely
 * Updated refs + existing graph: write incrementally from updated tips only
 * No existing graph or multi-remote fetch: fall back to full reachable scan

Patch 1 adds a commit-info subcommand to test-tool read-graph for verifying
graph contents in tests.

Patch 2 implements the optimization in builtin/fetch.c with four tests
covering the incremental, unrelated-commit, no-op, and fallback cases.
