Ignore local history when we miss an object

Nicolas Dandrimont requested to merge generated-differential-D456-source into generated-differential-D456-target

The git protocol will not allow us to "fill the gaps" if we just filter out the missing HEADs: if we have data that's been created more recently, the packfile returned by the server will be empty.

This is not the current swh/devel/experiments/swh-db-audit#1211 (moved) but this addresses one of the earliest failure cases of the git loader, where one of the branches wouldn't load and where further visits would yield a truncated history because of the current incremental behavior.

Test Plan

Loading an origin manually, then removing one of the HEADs, then loading again fills the gap.

Migrated from D456 (view on Phabricator)
