fetch-pack: in partial clone, pass --promisor
When fetching a pack from a promisor remote, the corresponding .promisor
file needs to be created. "fetch-pack" originally did this by passing
"--promisor" to "index-pack", but in
5374a290aa ("fetch-pack: write
fetched refs to .promisor", 2019-10-16), "fetch-pack" was taught to do
this itself instead, because it needed to store ref information in the
.promisor file.
This causes a problem with superprojects when transfer.fsckobjects is
set, because in the current implementation, it is "index-pack" that
calls fsck_finish() to check the objects; before
5374a290aa,
fsck_finish() would see that .gitmodules is a promisor object and
tolerate it being missing, but after, there is no .promisor file (at the
time of the invocation of fsck_finish() by "index-pack") to tell it that
.gitmodules is a promisor object, so it returns an error.
Therefore, teach "fetch-pack" to pass "--promisor" to index pack once
again. "fetch-pack" will subsequently overwrite this file with the ref
information.
An alternative is to instead move object checking to "fetch-pack", and
let "index-pack" only index the files. However, since "index-pack" has
to inflate objects in order to index them, it seems reasonable to also
let it check the objects (which also require inflated files).
