There are no guarantees that the two processes' outputs will be mutually line buffered. Luckily, it's just a cosmetic problem, but it does cause that test case to fail. I know how to fix it (imho), but have no time to implement it. There needs to be a separate communication stage after negotiating the objects and before dumping the pack. During that stage, upload-pack would just send progress notices to the caller. Only the caller would communicate to the terminal.
