[PATCH] Use stdin reflist passing in parse-remote

From
Julian Phillips <jp3@quantumfyre.co.uk>
Date

Message-ID

<11713297013179-git-send-email-julian@quantumfyre.co.uk>

Use the new stdin reflist passing mechanism for the call to fetch--tool expand-refs-wildcard, allowing passing of more than ~128K of reflist data.
