The third round. - Multi-valued variable transfer.hiderefs lists prefixes of ref hierarchies to be hidden from the requests coming over the network. - A configuration optionally allows uploadpack to accept fetch requests for an object at the tip of a hidden ref. Elsewhere, we discussed "delaying ref advertisement" (aka "expand refs"), but it is an orthogonal feature and this "hiding refs completely from advertisement" series does not attempt to address. Patch #2 (simplify request validation), #4 (clarify the codeflow), and #5 (use struct ref) are new. The are all long overdue clean-ups for these codepaths. The last patch is an illustration why it wouldn't make sense to optionally allow pushing into hidden refs, and not meant to be part of the series proper.
