How likely is it that ls-remote HEAD is added for HTTP as well rather than stripped for all protocols?

In the latter case, there's of course a solution for Capistrano like using refs/heads/master as a default instead and allowing the use of other refs by configuration. I could do such a patch, however, this only makes sense of ls-remote HEAD won't be added for HTTP.
