A note on this hang. What happens is that upload-pack sees a bogus
"want" line and calls die(). The client then sits there forever, but I'm
not exactly sure what it's waiting for.

This series fixes the bug that caused us to erroneously call die() in
upload-pack, so the hang is "fixed". But there are other reasons to call
die(); it would probably be a good thing if the client side noticed the
problem and aborted.
