Ok, then I misunderstood that part. I thought we'd be going to
put the symref (if any) into 'capabilities' on the respective ref,
but putting them all in one capability list sounds saner all in all.

Fair game. There goes the parse_feature_value; will have to iterate
another way (or look them ("symref=#{name}:") up instead of collecting
them into a hash beforehand).
Can I assume that the only capability list is always on the
first ref sent (as it is now)?
(And besides, is there something more suitable for the
xcalloc/strncpy combination?)
