No. We should make this a MUST. As in:
Only host-parameter is allowed in the git-proto-request.
Clients MUST NOT attempt to send additional parameters.
Sending another header can cause older git-daemons to lock up.
I think you are making a wrong case here: Older git-daemons that lock up
are security holes because they allow DoS attacks, and any decent admin
will want to upgrade to a fixed git-daemon anyway.
Fixed git-daemons can allow extra information in addition to 'host'. I
know you argued otherwise when you submitted the fix to git-daemon, but I
think you were wrong already back then.
