May be support git+mosh as a protocol, since it is not a drop in replacement. It is redesigned remote shell. The ideas it uses for session resumption needs to be reimplemented. This will need support from git, because it needs server side to be modified. Use SSP to return the the current progress for a particular session (it uses AES session ids).

So when a client connect with a session id, git server side can respond with the current state, how many objects received in that session, and client can continue from where it stopped. Client also will need to store session information.
