config based is so non-distributed, local in nature.

I don't follow.  Wouldn't a protocol change be enough to fix that, by
sharing branch descriptions analagously to how refs themselves are
shared?

I'd be surprised if we changed the protocol just to be able to share
some descriptions, when we have everything we need for sharing refs.
Also note that config is non-versioned etc.

But my main point here is that we should discuss the pros and cons of
each approach in context (the context of the original thread), and I
haven't heard many pros and cons for either.
