This is the implementation: a feature, marked experimental, that allows the
server to be configured by one or more `uploadpack.blobPackfileUri=<sha1>
<uri>` entries. Whenever the list of objects to be sent is assembled, all such
blobs are excluded, replaced with URIs. The client will download those URIs,
expecting them to each point to packfiles containing single blobs.
blobs are excluded, replaced with URIs. As noted in "Future work" below, the
server can evolve in the future to support excluding other objects (or other
implementations of servers could be made that support excluding other objects)
without needing a protocol change, so clients should not expect that packfiles
downloaded in this way only contain single blobs.
