The above was at pack level when I wrote that, although I think, from the user perspective, rejecting at ref level makes more sense. That is if a fetch request returns one ref update with incremental updates and one with new shallow history, instead of rejecting the whole request, we reject the second ref update and accept the first one. -- Duy
