I'm wondering if it would be possible to track all the commits that
were received
via the transport, instead of resolving them by ref changes, because resolving
from refs requires excluding all the previously-known refs, which can be a lot.
Our repository has ~35K tags, and I believe there are larger repos out there...

What do you say?
