No, I haven't (not my git day today).

It strikes me that we could walk from our refs, depth reasonably limited to say 20 or so commit chain and/or last 5 days of commit time, to see if any of the remotes are reachable from our refs and omit issuing "want" quite cheaply. Do you think that would be a worthy change to make things more efficient?
