Linus packs his refs, which means that currently you can't clone
using
http, with any version of git.
I really don't understand why packed refs or not depend on the
protocol.
It doesn't make any sense.
I think it's simply because git-http-fetch doesn't look for the
packed-refs file. Are we actually going to support HTTP fetching?
If so, we should update it to pull the packed-refs file too. If not,
it should be clearly marked as depreciated. That said, I think HTTP
is the easiest way for most people to publish and removing it would
be a mistake. I'd poke at it, but there's not enough spare time in
the day at the moment.
