Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from the initial advertisement
by introducing the uploadPack.hiderefs multivalued configuration
variable. Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value
of this variable is excluded from responses to "ls-remote", "fetch"
or "clone" requests. One typical use case may be
[uploadPack]
hiderefs = refs/changes
Note that the underlying protocol allows a request to fetch objects
at the tip of any ref, including the hidden ones, but on the client
side (e.g. fetch-pack), the requests are checked against the
ls-remote response, so it cannot ask for refs/changes/72/41672/1, or
for the object name (which is what eventually goes over the wire on
"want" line) the user may obtain out of band (e.g. Gerrit
dashboard). A new capability "allow-tip-sha1-in-want" is returned
by upload-pack to signal updated clients that it may be OK to ask
for objects that were not advertised.
If we want to allow fetching refname that is hidden, e.g.
$ git fetch $there refs/changes/72/41672/1
we need to further update the server side to understand a message
that has the refname instead of object name on "want" line. The
necessary change to the server side to support that is not in this
step.
