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.
Yep.
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.
I was hoping to find time to poke this over the weekend ... maybe even
this evening.
