[PATCH 0/8] fetch-pack/upload-pack enhancements

This time, I not only tested things more thoroughly, but included two tests enabling you to verify yourself that it's less buggy this time. (I actually have a more extensive test which I used, but it is just too big for occasional regression testing).

The most important change is probably "Make maximal use of the remote refs" which is based on Junio's proposal, and actually makes a big, big difference.

Nevertheless, I would like to see the multi_ack extension go into master, since it is Just The Right Thing (famous last Capitalized words).

A few of these patches depend on others:
