The maintenance 'prefetch' task creates refs that mirror remote refs, and in repositories with many branches this can clutter the commit list.
Add a new option to ignore any prefetch refs, enabled by default.

This was authored by @hasturkun and submitted to the git email list several years ago. It was never brought into the upstream for whatever reason, but likely due to the process for getting changes to gitk at the time.
I have been rebasing and patching this change to my locally installed gitk script ever since this code's submission to the git email list.
