I do not know how 41fa7d2 (Teach git-fetch to exploit server side automatic tag following, 2008-03-03), which is about the conversation between fetch-pack and upload-pack, is relevant to the issue at hand, which is about the conversation between send-pack and receive-pack. In send-pack receive-pack protocol, the server talks first before listening to the client, and the .have data is in this first part of the conversation. By the way, I think Documentation/technical/pack-protocol.txt needs to be updated. send-pack receive-pack protocol uses C and S to mean receiver and sender respectively. We should at least s/C/R/ that part, and possibly add description about ".have" thing. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
