Sounds fine to me.

<bikeshed>You can call it Documentation/technical/git-protocol.txt,
since from the context it's clear that this is going over the
wire.</bikeshed>

The main point of what Junio said is that it means the docs should
treat "git upload-archive" instead same way as "git upload-pack" and
"git receive-pack", instead of artifically separating the archive
file-oriented and the pack-oriented parts of the protocol.
