In do_fetch_pack_v2(), the "sought" array is sorted by name, and it is not subsequently reordered (within the function). Therefore, receive_wanted_refs() can assume that "sought" is sorted, and can thus use a binary search when storing wanted-refs retrieved from the server. Replace the existing linear search with a binary search. This improves performance significantly when mirror cloning a repository with more than 1 million refs.
