And that works because all of the existing callers wanted or the other.

By using --refspec, we can avoid doing the mapping with sed here, which is simpler and more robust. Good. One caveat for anybody else testing this: when I initially applied this patch, some tests failed! The problem turned out to be a leftover git-remote-testgit in my build dir from prior to 5afb2ce4cd (remote-testgit: move it into the support directory for t5801, 2019-04-12). So the problem isn't related to this patch (it's only noticeable here because this is the first change to remote-testgit since it moved). I wonder if we could make the test script more robust here. I think it's tricky because the build dir is added to the $PATH internally by Git itself (since it's the exec-path), so nothing do in the test script can override that. Perhaps it's worth just renaming the script as part of the move. +cc Dscho -Peff
