Ben Walton a6c786fce8 Mark http-fetch without -a as deprecated
As the use of http-fetch without -a can create an object store that is
invalid to the point where it cannot even be fsck'd, mark it as
deprecated.  A future release should change the default and then
remove the option entirely.

git-http-fetch(1)
=================
NAME
----
git-http-fetch - Download from a remote git repository via HTTP
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git http-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin] <commit> <url>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Downloads a remote git repository via HTTP.
*NOTE*: use of this command without -a is deprecated. The -a
behaviour will become the default in a future release.
OPTIONS
-------
commit-id::
Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to
pull.
-c::
Get the commit objects.
-t::
Get trees associated with the commit objects.
-a::
Get all the objects.
-v::
Report what is downloaded.
-w <filename>::
Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on
the local end after the transfer is complete.
--stdin::
Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this
case), 'git http-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format
<commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
--recover::
Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after
an earlier fetch is interrupted.
