On a repository with 120K refs, the advertisement portion of
upload-pack goes from ~3.4s to 3.2s (the failure to speed up
more is largely due to the fact that most of these refs are
tags, which need dereferenced to find the tag destination
anyway).

Why aren't we using the peeled information from the packed-refs file?
JGit does this and it saves a lot of time on advertisements from a
well packed repository.

The patch you are replying to is a year old. Since then, I did:
