No, that's send-pack. Upload-pack is the server side of fetching. And
yes, these names are confusing. Before I worked a lot on the send-pack
code, I used to mix them up all the time. :)

So without upload-pack, one cannot be the server side of a fetch. Which
means you can still work as a client, but it does mean that even local
clones won't work (actually, the clone will work due to the local
hardlink optimization, but further fetches will fail).
