Hello,

As git is used more and more in corporate-type environments, at some
point it becomes convenient to have *branches* (or more accurately,
refs) that are not readable.  The simplest way to do this (from git's
point of view) is to allow a "pre-upload" hook, rather like the
"pre-receive" hook or "update" hook.

I don't know the upload pack protocol enough to know whether this is a
stupid idea or not; please tell me if so :-)  But things that were
seemingly "impossible" in the early days are being talked about now
and even being implemented so I felt brave enough to ask.

I'm afraid my C programming days are long gone, but if anything can be
done in shell or perl, with a little git.guidance, I'll do whatever I
can.
