[PATCH 3/6] git-ls-remote: show and optionally store remote refs.

[PATCH 3/6] git-ls-remote: show and optionally store remote refs.

[Junio C Hamano]

Retrieve and list the remote refs from git, http, and rsync
repositories, and optionally stores the retrieved refs in the
local repository under the same name.

To access a git URL, git-peek-remote command is used.  An http
URL needs to have an up-to-date info/refs file for discovery,
which will be introduced by a later update-server-info patch.
