Re: upload-pack is slow with lots of refs

Has there been any work on extending the protocol so that the client
tells the server what refs it's interested in?

I don't think so. It would be hard to do in a backwards-compatible way,
because the advertisement is the first thing the server says, before it
has negotiated any capabilities with the client at all.

That is being discussed but hasn't surfaced on the list.
