7 * An object that supplies the information needed to negotiate the contents of
8 * the to-be-sent packfile during a fetch.
10 * To set up the negotiator, call fetch_negotiator_init(), then known_common()
11 * (0 or more times), then add_tip() (0 or more times).
13 * Then, when "have" lines are required, call next(). Call ack() to report what
14 * the server tells us.
16 * Once negotiation is done, call release(). The negotiator then cannot be used
17 * (unless reinitialized with fetch_negotiator_init()).
