+[[download.checkForHiddenChangeRefs]]download.checkForHiddenChangeRefs::
++
+Whether the download commands should be adapted when the change refs
+are hidden.
++
+Git has a configuration option to hide refs from the initial
+advertisement (`uploadpack.hideRefs`). This option can be used to hide
+the change refs from the client. As consequence fetching changes by
+change ref does not work anymore. However by setting
+`uploadpack.allowTipSha1InWant` to `true` fetching changes by commit ID
+is possible. If `download.checkForHiddenChangeRefs` is set to `true`
+the git download commands use the commit ID instead of the change ref
+when a project is configured like this.
++
+Example git configuration on a project:
++
+----
+[uploadpack]
+  hideRefs = refs/changes/
+  hideRefs = refs/cache-automerge/
+  allowTipSha1InWant = true
+----
++
+By default `false`.
