There is nothing "above" as you seem to be top posting ;-) When somebody else helps by supplying an "squashable" patch, often people are expected to review it and then update their patch(es) using the given material to produce a v2. But as I said, the "squashable" one was only about the receive-pack side; even if you combined it with your original, tests for the fetch side were still missing, so it was not sufficient for a v2. As I didn't see your reply message (to which I am responding to) until now, mostly because it was dropped by the mailing list (perhaps it was an HTML e-mail from GMail or something???), I've further worked on the tests to cover the fetch side and sent out a full version (not a squashable, but just a replacement for the whole thing). It is archived and viewable at https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqpm3eh7f6.fsf@gitster.g Part of it is still your original patch, some material in its proposed commit log message was given by Peff, and the rest was written by me, so it carries names of three people. If the result looks acceptable to you, then saying "Yup, that looks good" would be the simplest answer to give to move things forward. Thanks.
