[PATCH v6 5/7] revision: add new parameter to exclude hidden refs

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Nov 17, 2022, 05:46 UTC
Message-ID
<d86a3342f61e2f44c976f379aea4a3463fb6fd98.1668663796.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1668663795.git.ps@pks.im>

Users can optionally hide refs from remote users in git-upload-pack(1), git-receive-pack(1) and others via the `transfer.hideRefs`, but there is not an easy way to obtain the list of all visible or hidden refs right now. We'll require just that though for a performance improvement in our connectivity check.

Add a new option `--exclude-hidden=` that excludes any hidden refs from the next pseudo-ref like `--all` or `--branches`.
