Without digging to much into the `ref-filter` code itself, it seems
like there is an opportunity to generalize and unfify the logic
between these two cases. As well as using `ALLOC_GROW`. But maybe that
is best left as a follow-up task? Especially since this patch focuses
on `ls-remote`. Seems possibly like too big of a change to start
changing a different sub-command.
Wouldn't a `ref_array_push()` also require `ref->symref`, maybe then
we could pass the whole ref? It needs to be very clear that it's a
`ref` and not a `ref_array_item` that is being pushed. Much of my
logic here deals specifically with trying to treat a ref as
ref_array_item.
>From my viewpoint as implementer, I was very happy that I could
implement the feature *without* invoking `filter_refs` since that
`filter->kind` switching looks a pretty daunting. I'm not exactly sure
what a `git ls-remote --contains HEAD` would do, maybe you could
explain a bit more?
