It has been observed that the sender has to advertise megabytes of refs because it has to speak first before knowing what the receiver wants, even when the receiver is interested in getting updates from only one of them, or worse yet, when the receiver is only trying to peek the ref it is interested has been updated. I do not think upload-pack that runs on the sender side with millions refs, when asked for a single "want", feeds all the refs that it has to the revision machinery, and if you observed it does, I cannot explain why it happens. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
