Describe how to omit "have" lines

Browse source

refs outside the current Git namespace. Explain how to enable this
feature in the INSTALL instructions and in the Git interface
documentation.

Further Configuration
---------------------
When using Git namespaces, Git advertises refs outside the current namespace as
so-called "have" lines. This is normally used to reduce traffic but it has the
opposite effect in the case of aurweb: Many essentially useless lines are
transferred to the Git client during `git push` operations.
In order to omit these advertisements, add the strings "^refs/" and "!refs/" to
the transfer.hideRefs configuration setting. Note that the order of these
patterns is important ("^refs/" must come first) and that Git 2.7 or newer is
required for them to work.
