If you have tons of refs on _your_ side to matter, some of them would be tags that are known to both ends. The only case it really is troublesome is when the sender does not know _any_ of the refs the receiver presented to it. In the illustration in the message you are responding to, if the commit A was tagged at the shared repository when two developers cloned, it does not matter if C is unknown to the second pusher. So a potential improvement might be to ask for "tellme-more" only if we do not know any of the refs the receiver showed us; my patch does it if there is at least one unknown instead. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
