/*
 * A day in the life of a network operation
 * ========================================
 *
 * The library gets told to ls-remote/push/fetch on/to/from some
 * remote. We look at the URL of the remote and fill the function
 * table with whatever is appropriate (the remote may be git over git,
 * ssh or http(s). It may even be an hg or svn repository, the library
 * at this level doesn't care, it just calls the helpers.
 *
 * The first call is to ->connect() which connects to the remote,
 * making use of the direction if necessary. This function must also
 * store the remote heads and any other information it needs.
 *
 * The next useful step is to call ->ls() to get the list of
 * references available to the remote. These references may have been
 * collected on connect, or we may build them now. For ls-remote,
 * nothing else is needed other than closing the connection.
 * Otherwise, the higher leves decide which objects we want to
 * have. ->send_have() is used to tell the other end what we have. If
 * we do need to download a pack, ->download_pack() is called.
 *
 * When we're done, we call ->close() to close the
 * connection. ->free() takes care of freeing all the resources.
