Merge branch 'ds/backfill'
Lazy-loading missing files in a blobless clone on demand is costly
as it tends to be one-blob-at-a-time. "git backfill" is introduced
to help bulk-download necessary files beforehand.
* ds/backfill:
backfill: assume --sparse when sparse-checkout is enabled
backfill: add --sparse option
backfill: add --min-batch-size=<n> option
backfill: basic functionality and tests
backfill: add builtin boilerplate
