Hi,

  I don't have time to code that myself right now, so I'm just tossing
an idea around - pushing to a directory with alternates set up should
avoid sending objects that are already in the alternate object database.
This is obviously very hard to achieve, but I think it should be
possible to do something like look if $alternate/../refs/ exists and in
that case send haves for those refs - that could give good results. Or
is that a bad idea for some reason?

  That would be quite useful for the repo.or.cz's forked objects.
