The new --report-status flag forces the status report feature of the push protocol to be enabled. This can be useful in a CGI program that implements the server side of a "smart" Git-aware HTTP transport. The CGI code can perform the selection of the feature and ask receive-pack to enable it automatically. The new --no-advertise-heads causes receive-pack to bypass its usual display of known refs to the client, and instead immediately start reading the commands and pack from stdin. This is useful in a CGI situation where we want to hand off all input to receive-pack. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
