Actually, I wonder if we can simply get rid of some of the calls in
send-pack. I think that the code in send-pack isn't even called anymore
via "git push"; it only gets called when you call send-pack directly.
And arguably send-pack as plumbing shouldn't be generating all sorts of
user-facing output. But it is a behavior change. I wonder if anybody
actually calls send-pack directly anymore. It seems like even scripts
use "git push" because of the transport agnosticism.
