Teach upload-pack and receive-pack to omit some refs from their
initial advertisements by paying attention to the transfer.hiderefs
multi-valued configuration variable. Any ref that is under the
hierarchies listed on the value of this variable is excluded from
responses to requests made by "ls-remote", "fetch", "clone", "push",
etc.
A typical use case may be
[transfer]
hiderefs = refs/pull
to hide the refs that are internally used by the hosting site and
should not be exposed over the network.
Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to
fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these
refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches
that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent.
An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit
refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/pull/11/head", is rejected.
This is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that
there is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now
that I sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs.
I saw that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want
the result to point at this commit". The receiving end will apply
the compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with
"Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there
is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to
a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good
default.
