Junio C HamanoSergey spotted a grave bug, already in "master", which shows my lack of testing. I just pushed out his fix, which is to revert d119e3de13ea1493107bd57381d0ce9c9dd90976. It should propagate to the mirrors soon.
If you used git-update-server-info with the bug on your repository, you will find a huge objects/info/packs file. Usually it should list just a handful edge tags and commits, but with the bug it practically lists everything.
After rebuilding the fixed git-update-server-info, please run 'git-update-server-info -f' there to fix this problem.
Sorry for the stupid bug, and many thanks to Sergey.

This reverts d119e3de13ea1493107bd57381d0ce9c9dd90976 commit.
Object references are used in server-info.c:find_pack_info_one() to find out which objects in the pack are heads, therefore tracking of references cannot be disabled.

Looks like this bug has caused objects/info/packs in the linux-2.4 repository to grow huge and hit the limit, which I then needed to remove in the previous patch.
