Yes the version string goes along with the ref_list in v1 like so:

  # service=<service>
  0000
  version 1
  ref_list
  0000

This is because it is part of the payload which is actually delivered to
the git fetch/push binary where as the "# service" bit is used by the
remote helper to identify smart vs not smart servers.
