Makes obvious sense, and this was something that jumped out to me when I
looked at the first and second versions of this patch. I'm glad that
this is getting factored out.

This took a little more thinking, but I agree that this is behaviorally
equivalent. The key points are (and here I'm basically restating what
you already wrote):

  - when the state machine in do_fetch_pack_v2() is in
    FETCH_CHECK_LOCAL, we set a few v2-specific defaults

  - it will be helpful for a future patch to have these defaults set
    _before_ we enter the main loop

  - and we can safely make that change, since the initial state is
    always FETCH_CHECK_LOCAL anyway, so we're guaranteed to hit that
    code whether it's in the loop or not.

So this seems safe to me, too. I'll have to see why this is necessary,
but I suspect we'll find out in subsequent patches, so let's read on...

Thanks,
Taylor
