Turns out adding this is pretty simple.

The first two patches are documentation, which I noticed when reading up about the command. Patch three is a cleanup patch, which makes ls-remote use the parse-options api instead of the hand-rolled option parser. Patch four is actually adding the option.

Thomas Gummerer (4):
  ls-remote: document --quiet option
  ls-remote: fix synopsis
  ls-remote: use parse-options api
  ls-remote: add support for showing symrefs
