If everything_local() is trying to check that the references are in the
local repository plus alternates, then it is incorrect that
everything_local() doesn't consider alternate references in its
determination.  My guess is that this is the case, and that something
like the following might be the fix:

Junio could answer more authoritatively than I, but I am pretty sure it
is the latter. The point is to skip the expensive find_common
negotiation if we know that there are no objects to fetch. Thus the
"local" here is "do we have them on this side of the git-protocol
connection", not "do we have them in our non-alternates repository".

Correct.  The function is about "do we need to get any object from the
other side?" optimization.

Thanks for your feedback.  I have just submitted a patch series [1] that
attempts to fix this problem.
