The contributions we made to the Git 2.43 release

Git version 2.43, released on November 20, 2023, includes several enhancements contributed by GitLab's Git team, such as improved object segmentation and storage optimization through the git repack command with a new --filter option, which allows certain objects to be stored separately, potentially on cheaper storage. Additionally, a --exists option for git show has been introduced to provide a consistent method for checking object existence, addressing edge cases in the process. The --missing option of git rev-list has been extended to include commit objects, aiding in the next-generation repository replication efforts by enabling efficient tracking of new and necessary git objects. Furthermore, an update allows bare repositories to read gitattributes directly from the tree that HEAD points to by default, simplifying processes and reducing technical debt, particularly for Gitaly. Bug fixes include ensuring objects parsed from commit-graphs are checked for existence, with a new environment variable to enforce this check as needed.
