Thanks for a very well explained series.

We do not call finish_async (rather, we do not use async) from that
many places, and from a cursory look this codepath is the only case
where we may encounter this kind of deadlock (the ones in
receive-pack is about relaying the error messages back to the other
end over sideband multiplexing)?
