Whatever it is that lets the helper tell the transport code where in the 
helper's private namespace to look for refs. I'd been thinking the helper 
would advertize the "refspec" capability, and the transport code would 
call the "refspec" command in order to get the helper to report that; but 
then I actually only said that the helper reports refspec, and not 
proposed a name for the command.
