Sorry for getting back to you late on this. The current status is that
v2 (this version) looks good to me, except that not many people seems to
be interested in this - I sent out v2 [1] with a relatively significant
protocol change to v1 (requiring the server to also send the packfile's
hash, meaning that a workflow that Ævar has described will no longer
work), but nobody replied to it except for Josh Steadmon (who did give
his Reviewed-By).
In the meantime, I have been working on a server-side JGit
implementation [2], but not all parts are done (and it will take some
time).
If this version is good with everyone, then this is the final version. I
know it has been some time, but if I squash "SQUASH???" onto
"upload-pack: refactor reading of pack-objects out" and then rebase onto
latest master (14c0f8d3ab ("The sixth batch", 2019-04-22)), there's only
one small merge conflict.
