As discussed in #13671, we restrict how we negotiate from the rev_store to a server to use only the relevant tips.
This is done by name spacing the recorded references by (the hash of) their URL. This way we can provide only the relevant references during negotiation.
This should both speed up negotiation (and hence downloads) and avoid unnecessary communication of rev_store contents.
--negotiation-tipis an argument that was introduced in the minimum supported Git version that we currently have.I've updated the doc/dev/rev_store.md about this new behaviour.
