VFS for Git: `POST /gvfs/sizes`
Microsoft has built a new Git Virtual File System to support working with very big repos. GVFS allows for driver level just-in-time downloading of files as they are needed rather than downloading the whole repo upfront.
GitLab should implement server side support, so that as client support in improved GitLab is able to support GVFS.
This route is required for minimum implementation of GVFS.
Proposal
Implement POST /gvfs/sizes
route, which provides the uncompressed, undeltified size of one or more objects
