Do we have code to support this configuration variable? Sorry, I should have caught that. Our existing solution is to disable alternates in the advertisement entirely (since the optimization backfires for us). So this line is a leftover from testing it against our fork, and should be dropped. If anybody is interested, we can share those patches, though they're unsurprisingly trivial. I suspect we may end up discarding them if this custom-command thing works, but it's possible we'll still need to be able to shut them off completely for some truly pathological cases. > > + cat <<-EOF | git update-ref --stdin && > > Style: writing "<<-\EOF" instead would allow readers' eyes to > coast over without having to look for $variable_references in > the here-doc.
