Not well.

If the client is new enough to understand the "expand" extension,
yes, it would ask for "expand refs/*" and get everthing, allowing
it to complete a full mirror.
If the client is older and doesn't know this extension, then it
is hopeless. The server isn't advertising refs/*, doesn't know
that the client can't ask for refs/*, and the client doesn't know
it is missing refs when it makes the mirror.
This backwards incompatible breakage is something I have no real
solution for. :-|
