Directory sync can fast-forward a cloud checkout from a git bundle

Cloud checkouts could fast-forward from a downloaded git bundle, but no caller enables it.

Overlay bundle download, verify and fast-forward merge are complete behind an option defaulting to false.

What

The sync manifest can now carry an overlay block (hash, size, target head, pin) pointing at a git bundle. The worker downloads it, verifies it, fetches it and does a fast-forward-only merge. It is behind the same overlay option that defaults to false, and no caller in this build passes true.

Details
  • The bundle must be a version 2 git bundle whose prerequisite commits exist locally; if the clone is shallow, sync fetches --depth=1 from origin first.
  • Refs land under refs/ccr-seed/overlay before the merge.
  • The apply refuses on a detached HEAD, a dirty working tree, a target head that is not a descendant of the current one, or if a turn has already started.
  • Reported as tengu_dir_sync_overlay_start, _complete and _failed, plus ccr_dir_sync_overlay.
Evidence

# v2 git bundle

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
