Merge branch 'sb/describe-blob'

"git describe" was taught to dig trees deeper to find a
<commit-ish>:<path> that refers to a given blob object.

* sb/describe-blob:
  builtin/describe.c: describe a blob
  builtin/describe.c: factor out describe_commit
  builtin/describe.c: print debug statements earlier
  builtin/describe.c: rename `oid` to avoid variable shadowing
  revision.h: introduce blob/tree walking in order of the commits
  list-objects.c: factor out traverse_trees_and_blobs
  t6120: fix typo in test name

+BUGS
+----
+
+Tree objects as well as tag objects not pointing at commits, cannot be described.
+When describing blobs, the lightweight tags pointing at blobs are ignored,
+but the blob is still described as <committ-ish>:<path> despite the lightweight
+tag being favorable.
