From: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> This helper function looks for config in two places: transfer.hiderefs, or $section.hiderefs, where $section is passed in by the caller (and is "uploadpack" or "receive", depending on the context). In preparation for callers which do not even have that context (namely the "git-serve" command), let's handle a NULL by looking only at transfer.hiderefs (as opposed to segfaulting).
