Hmm, I am puzzled.

I do not know how 41fa7d2 (Teach git-fetch to exploit server side automatic tag following, 2008-03-03), which is about the conversation between fetch-pack and upload-pack, is relevant to the issue at hand, which is about the conversation between send-pack and receive-pack.

In send-pack receive-pack protocol, the server talks first before listening to the client, and the .have data is in this first part of the conversation.

By the way, I think Documentation/technical/pack-protocol.txt needs to be updated. send-pack receive-pack protocol uses C and S to mean receiver and sender respectively. We should at least s/C/R/ that part, and possibly add description about ".have" thing.
