* "git fetch" from a client that is mostly following the remote
needlessly told all of its refs to the server for both sides to
compute the set of objects that need to be transferred efficiently,
instead of stopping when the server heard enough. In a project with
many tags, this turns out to be extremely wasteful, especially over
the smart HTTP transport (sp/maint-{upload,fetch}-pack-stop-early~1).

* "git fetch" run from a repository that uses the same repository as
its alternate object store as the repository it is fetching from
did not tell the server that it already has access to objects
reachable from the refs in their common alternate object store,
causing it to fetch unnecessary objects (jc/maint-fetch-alt).
