Yeah, taking it out of context did make its purpose fuzzy.  Without
the other patches in the series that set the overall direction of
reducing ls-refs, it was unclear why some transports are marked to
specifically want to automatically call transport_get_remote_refs().
With these surrounding changes, "we call it as needed, because an
earlier step may not have called it" starts to sound quite sensible.
