I think it should be like in v2 - the server should ignore "want-ref
<ref>" lines for refs it doesn't know about. And, after more thought, I
think that the client should die if "fetch <exact-ref-name>" was not
fulfilled, and ignore if a ref in "fetch <ref-with-wildcard>" was not
fulfilled.
The advantage of doing that is that we make the protocol a bit more
tolerant to adverse conditions (e.g. a rapidly changing repository or an
eventually consistent load-balancing setup), while having little-to-no
effect on regular conditions.
The disadvantage is that there is now one additional place where a
failure can silently occur, but I think that this is a minor
disadvantage. A naive script using "git fetch", in my mind, would assume
that refs/heads/exact exists if "fetch
refs/heads/exact:refs/heads/exact" succeeds, but would not assume that
refs/heads/wildcard-something exists if "fetch
refs/heads/wildcard*:refs/heads/wildcard*" succeeds, which fits in
nicely with the die/ignore behavior I outlined above.
