This is the implementation: a feature, marked experimental, that allows the server to be configured by one or more `uploadpack.blobPackfileUri=<sha1> <uri>` entries. Whenever the list of objects to be sent is assembled, all such -blobs are excluded, replaced with URIs. The client will download those URIs, -expecting them to each point to packfiles containing single blobs. +blobs are excluded, replaced with URIs. As noted in "Future work" below, the +server can evolve in the future to support excluding other objects (or other +implementations of servers could be made that support excluding other objects) +without needing a protocol change, so clients should not expect that packfiles +downloaded in this way only contain single blobs.
