We added the `sorted` capability to our `packed-refs` header relatively
recently (approximately two months ago, v0.27.0 will be the first release
to include it as of today).  So, at the moment, libgit2 writes:

  "# pack-refs with: peeled fully-peeled sorted "

Prior to this change, libgit2's header was stable for the last five years
as:

  "# pack-refs with: peeled fully-peeled "

And prior to that, we advertised only `peeled`:

  "# pack-refs with: peeled "

Thanks for thinking of us!
