The gvfs-helper allows us to download prefetch packs using a simple subprocess call. The gvfs-helper-client.h method will automatically compute the timestamp if passing 0, and passing NULL for the number of downloaded packs is valid. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>
To allow running "git fetch" in the background, we want to ensure that users still see when the remote refs update in their user- facing fetch commands. Use a new --no-update-remote-refs option to prevent storing these updates to refs/remotes. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

This is a follow-up to #227. 1. When a new flag is added to our Git config, we can run `gvfs-helper prefetch` inside of our `git fetch` calls. This will help ensure we have updated commits and trees even if the background prefetches have fallen behind (or are not running). 2. With a new `--no-update-remote-refs` we can avoid updating the `refs/remotes` namespace. This will allow us to run `git fetch --all --no-update-remote-refs +refs/heads/*:refs/hidden/*` and we will get the new refs into a local folder (that doesn't appear anywhere). The most important thing is that users will still see when their remote refs update.
