extra_have is only ever used by the push logic, so they're shouldn't be
any harm is passing it through on the fetch side, especially since
upload-pack doesn't send .have lines.

The push side is what uses the .have lines.  From a quick look through
the code it seems like get_refs_via_connect is always called before
git_transport_push, so the extra check to make sure ref's have been
retrieved doesn't get executed.  But if it ever did get executed, we
would silently ignore a server's .have lines.
