Thanks, Peff, for your review. I have addressed your comments (through
replies to your emails and here in this v5 patch set).

    @@ Commit message
     
         Currently, symrefs that have unborn targets (such as in this case) are
         not communicated by the protocol. Teach Git to advertise and support the
    -    "unborn" feature in "ls-refs" (guarded by the lsrefs.allowunborn
    +    "unborn" feature in "ls-refs" (by default, this is advertised, but
    +    server administrators may turn this off through the lsrefs.allowunborn
         config). This feature indicates that "ls-refs" supports the "unborn"
         argument; when it is specified, "ls-refs" will send the HEAD symref with
         the name of its unborn target.
