We've got a lot of refs, but pretty frequently we only want to fetch
one.  It's silly for the server to send a bunch of refs that the client
is just going to ignore.  Here are some patches that fix that.

Let me know if this seems reasonable.

(and I'll start in on another round of index-helper as soon as this is sent!)

David Turner (6):
  http-backend: use argv_array functions
  remote-curl.c: fix variable shadowing
  http-backend: handle refspec argument
  transport: add refspec list parameters to functions
  fetch: pass refspec to http server
  clone: send refspec for single-branch clones
