Patrick's patch might help some, as it would avoid calling rev-list at
all. But we wouldn't do any traversal in that command if there are no
positive tips anyway, so it is really just saving the startup overhead
of iterating the ref tips to add them to the traversal.
In the case of GitHub, the problem is much more likely outside of Git's
immediate control. Every push will run GitHub-specific hooks for things
like branch protections, etc, and there's a lot of overhead there.
