Merge branch 'tb/filter-alternate-refs'

When pushing into a repository that borrows its objects from an
alternate object store, "git receive-pack" that responds to the
push request on the other side lists the tips of refs in the
alternate to reduce the amount of objects transferred.  This
sometimes is detrimental when the number of refs in the alternate
is absurdly large, in which case the bandwidth saved in potentially
fewer objects transferred is wasted in excessively large ref
advertisement.  The alternate refs that are advertised are now
configurable with a pair of configuration variables.

* tb/filter-alternate-refs:
  transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsPrefixes
  transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsCommand
  transport.c: extract 'fill_alternate_refs_command'
  transport: drop refnames from for_each_alternate_ref

 	This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that
 	expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
 
+core.alternateRefsCommand::
+	When advertising tips of available history from an alternate, use the shell to
+	execute the specified command instead of linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. The
+	first argument is the absolute path of the alternate. Output must contain one
+	hex object id per line (i.e., the same as produce by `git for-each-ref

++
+Note that you cannot generally put `git for-each-ref` directly into the config
+value, as it does not take a repository path as an argument (but you can wrap
+the command above in a shell script).

+core.alternateRefsPrefixes::
+	When listing references from an alternate, list only references that begin
+	with the given prefix. Prefixes match as if they were given as arguments to
+	linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. To list multiple prefixes, separate them with

+	`core.alternateRefsPrefixes` has no effect.

 	If true this repository is assumed to be 'bare' and has no
