[PATCH 0/7] Make alternates affect fetch behavior

[mhagger@alum.mit.edu]

From: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

It used to be that alternate references were not considered "complete"
when fetching via fetch-pack.  This failure was not so obvious because
the big benefit of alternates is seen when cloning, and clone used a
different data path: it put the alternate references into extra refs
(which makes them look like references within the local repository).

This patch series teaches fetch-pack to treat objects that are
available via alternates as "complete".

Once that is fixed, clone doesn't need to use the special extra_refs
kludge, so change that.

And once that is changed, the extra_refs API is no longer needed at
all, so remove it.

Michael Haggerty (7):
  t5700: document a failure of alternates to affect fetch
  clone.c: move more code into the "if (refs)" conditional
  fetch-pack.c: rename some parameters from "path" to "refname"
  fetch-pack.c: inline insert_alternate_refs()
  everything_local(): mark alternate refs as complete
  clone: do not add alternate references to extra_refs
  refs: remove the extra_refs API
