[PATCHv5 01/12] gitweb: introduce remote_heads feature

From
Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID

With this feature enabled, remotes are retrieved (and displayed) when getting (and displaying) the heads list. Typical usage would be for local repository browsing, e.g. by using git-instaweb (or even a more permanent gitweb setup), to check the repository status and the relation between tracking branches and the originating remotes.
