Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from the initial advertisement
by introducing the uploadPack.hiderefs multivalued configuration
variable. Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value
of this variable is excluded from responses to "ls-remote", "fetch"
or "clone" requests. One typical use case may be
[uploadPack]
hiderefs = refs/changes
Note that the underlying protocol still allows a request to fetch
objects at the tip of any ref, including the hidden ones, but on the
client side (e.g. fetch-pack), the requests are checked against the
ls-remote response, so it cannot ask for refs/changes/14/432432, or
for the object name (which is what eventually goes over the wire on
"want" line) the user may obtain out of band (e.g. Gerrit dashboard).
A new capability "allow-tip-sha1-in-want" is returned by upload-pack
to signal updated clients that it may be OK to ask for objects that
were not advertised.
