Nodegit: Perform an ls-remote without cloning the repo

[xizhao]

How can I run a git ls-remote if I just have a URL?

Is there a sort of NodeGit.Remote.list(url) cmd?

The main issue is we can't create a repo w/o cloning. We should be able to init a dummy one, set remote and then list.

I believe you can run NodeGit.Remote.createDetached(url: string), and then you can call NodeGit.Remote.prototype.referenceList (exposes git_remote_ls) on the detached remote in nodegit today.
