Re: [RFC] helping smart-http/stateless-rpc fetch race

A separate option would allow admins to let their clients ask to fetch
4bc5fbf (that is v0.99~2) even if that commit is not at the tip of any ref
if they choose to. That is what (1) is about, and people who do not want
a separate option needs to argue that it is an unnecessary "feature".

By the way, I personally do not think it is necessary, but as long timers
on the list may recall, this has come up on the list for a few times.
