Hmph, it feels like that the real culprit in that illustration is
that the negotiation stops after seeing A, and assumes that the
chain leading to B and C need to be re-sent, without the parties in
the negotiation even discussing that lines of the history. When you
say "want-ref refs/tags/*", intending to update remote-tracking refs
on your side with the result, shouldn't the protocol make sure that
the current state of the remote-tracking refs (i.e. B and C in the
example) is taken into account? It does not quite sound like a
problem inherent to "want-ref refs/tags/*" or a like request; the
real cause of the problem seems to lie elsewhere, at least to me.
Thanks.
