    Changes since v1:
    ...
       quarantine outside of the commondir.
All of the above changes make sense to me.

This unfortunately crashes with Patrick's odb-reload-alternates
series, but let me see if I can get a reasonable conflict resolution
or if it is more reasonable to ask you to rebase this on the other
topic.
I decided to queue it as-is instead of asking you to depend on the
other topic.  Here is what I got after making a trial merge to
'seen'.

I usually use "git show" to trigger the dense-combined diff format
(i.e., "git show --cc seen"), but "git show --remerge-diff seen"
output is shown below, just to see how easy it is to read.

    Merge branch 'kk/quarantine-alternate-refs' into seen
    
    The connectivity check in 'git-receive-pack(1)' has been optimized
    to not list the repository's own refs as alternate refs when running
    inside the object quarantine, avoiding redundant traversal of hidden
    refs.
