This pulls in all of the branches in the same way as --mirror, but won't
also pull in all of the non-branch references.
For example the refs/pull/*/{head,merge} references that GitHub creates
for every PR that has ever been opened against the repo can pull in a
very large amount of objects that aren't useful, and which can massively
inflate a repository.
