This change probably does not belong in this patch, especially since
remote.c is unchanged.

Yes this hunk is needed, the signature of get_remote_heads changes.  It
may be difficult to see that due to the fact that we don't really have a
clear story on how header files are divided up within the project.

Thanks - I indeed didn't notice that the implementation of
get_remote_heads() is modified too in this patch.

My initial comment was about just the renaming of "shallow" to
"shallow_points", but yes, you're right - I see in the implementation
that it is indeed named "shallow_points" there, so this change is
justified, especially since you're already changing the signature of
this function.
