+ * transport helper advertises a "refspec", then we'd add that to a
+ * list of refspecs via `refspec_append()`, which transitively depends
+ * on `the_hash_algo`. Thus, when the hash algorithm isn't properly set
+ * up, this would lead to a segfault.
+ *
+ * We really should fix this in the transport helper logic such that we
+ * lazily parse refspec capabilities _after_ we have learned about the
+ * remote's object format. Otherwise, we may end up misparsing refspecs
+ * depending on what object hash the remote uses.
