Elijah Newren a1ad4a0fca backfill: default to grabbing edge blobs too ... Commit 302aff0922 (backfill: accept revision arguments, 2026-03-26) added support for accepting revision arguments to backfill. This allows users to do things like git backfill --remotes ^v2.3.0 and then run many commands without triggering on-demand downloads of blobs. However, if they have topics based on v2.3.0, they will likely still trigger on-demand downloads. Consider, for example, the command git log -p v2.3.0..topic This would still trigger on-demand blob loadings after the backfill command above, because the commit(s) with A as a parent will need to diff against the blobs in A. In fact, multiple commands need blobs from the lower boundary of the revision range: * git log -p A..B # After backfill A..B * git replay --onto TARGET A..B # After backfill TARGET^! A..B * git checkout A && git merge B # After backfill A...B Add an extra --[no-]include-edges flag to allow grabbing blobs from edge commits. Since the point of backfill is to prevent on-demand blob loading and these are common commands, default to --include-edges.
