First, it would depend if you need this new protocol to be a dumb
protocol (like rsync and http) or "native" (git or ssh).

I've been meaning to refactor the dumb protocol "stack" for a while, but
haven't gone much further than ideas in my mind (i.e. no code). I also
have some start of http code recfactoring, that is waiting for this dumb
protocol rework to be completed.
