Obviously we are not there yet, but a fun test will be to globally bump the transport version to "2" and try to run the test suite.

We will also want to test interoperation between v1 and v2. Though the _best_ test of that is not hitting a v2 server configured for v1, but hitting an actual older version of git. Which is outside the scope of the current test suite, as it always operates on a single version.

It might be nice to have a separate test suite for doing interoperability, that knows how to build various versions (there's already some prior art in t/perf). I know this isn't the first time this concept has come up.
