Oh, subtle.  With shells that leak variable assignments after a
function returns (such as bash when run as 'sh'), 5552.5 was running
with GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0, masking the issue.

In protocol v2, there is no "stateful" mode: negotiation always uses
the stateless-rpc path, and the stateless-rpc path involves more care
to avoid chatter during negotiation (since request size increases with
each round).

This is why b1.c14 and b1.c9 don't show up in the v2 trace.  Processing
the trace with "git name-rev --stdin" yields

By comparison, with protocol v0 over stateful bidirectional
transports, there's an additional round-trip folded in:

Patch coming in a moment to force v0 here with a comment.

Thanks,
