 Speeds up "git upload-pack" (what is invoked by "git fetch" on the
 other side of the connection) by reducing the cost to advertise the
 branches and tags that are available in the repository.

FWIW I have this deployed at work for a userbase of a few hundred
users, none of whom have had any issues with it, it does speed things
up a lot though.

Thanks.
