Ah, yeah, I think it should be the default in that version anyway.

Yep, that's definitely v0.

No, probably the server doesn't support v2. I double-checked myself, and couldn't get it to speak v2 either.

Probably. I'm fairly certain that JGit has supported v2 for a while. Just poking at `git log` in jgit.git shows some commits adding it around the 5.0 timeframe. So I'd think the version they're advertising would have it. I don't know offhand if there's a config option they'd need to flip on the server.
