DESCRIPTION
upload-pack only shows the symref HEAD, so it will be the only
one shown by ls-remote.
+--sort=<key>::
+ Sort based on the key given. Prefix `-` to sort in descending order
+ of the value. Supports "version:refname" or "v:refname" (tag names
+ are treated as versions). The "version:refname" sort order can also
+ be affected by the "versionsort.suffix" configuration variable.
+ See linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1] for more sort options, but be aware
+ keys like `committerdate` that require access to the objects
+ themselves will not work for refs whose objects have not yet been
+ fetched from the remote, and will give a `missing object` error.
+
+-o <option>::
+--server-option=<option>::
+ Transmit the given string to the server when communicating using
+ protocol version 2. The given string must not contain a NUL or LF
+ character.
+ When multiple `--server-option=<option>` are given, they are all
+ sent to the other side in the order listed on the command line.
+
<repository>::
The "remote" repository to query. This parameter can be
either a URL or the name of a remote (see the GIT URLS and
