If we want symref information conveyed, then we should either make a new "symref advertisement" available (and it is OK to use a single-bit capability to enable or disable that new section), or make the "ref advertisement" natively capable of always doing so (i.e. if there is no need to make this optional). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
