Re: [PATCH v7 0/3] Cloning with remote unborn HEAD

For what it's worth, here's v7 with advertise/allow/ignore and by
default, advertise. I think that some server operators will have use for
this feature, and people who want to disable it for whatever reason can
still do so. The main disadvantage is complexity - the server knob that
server administrators will need to control (but between a simpler
allow/ignore knob and a more complicated advertise/allow/ignore knob, I
think we might as well go for the slightly more complex one) and
complexity in the code (but now that is constrained to one function and
a few global variables).

As you can see from the range-diff, not much has changed from v6.

I've also included Junio's suggestion of tightening the promise made by
the server (when the client says "unborn").

This looks reasonable overall, especially with the feature turned on
by default, we'd hopefully get reasonable exposure from the get-go.

Let's mark the topic to be merged to 'next' soonish, unless people
object.

Thanks.
