To check whether it actually matters for me, I have counted HTTP
requests for info/refs: 42 per hour for the last 5.5 days. So it might.
28% of the requests are web crawlers.

For objects/../, it is more fun - 1942 requests per hour. 46% is
accounted for web crawlers. I will put up a robots.txt. ;-)
