Thanks

I tried (BTW my version is 2.26.2)

$ GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1 git -c protocol.version=2 pull -r

and the first few lines look like

10:35:59.323490 pkt-line.c:80 packet: fetch< ad0351b84926075297fb74abbe9b31a0455782af HEAD\0 include-tag multi_ack_detailed multi_ack o fs-delta side-band side-band-64k thin-pack no-progress shallow agent=JGit/5.3.7.202002110540-r symref=HEAD:refs/heads/master 10:35:59.323583 pkt-line.c:80 packet: fetch< baeb5486c43d39b063371f91cfaae8efc2c8700b refs/changes/00/1000/1 10:35:59.323592 pkt-line.c:80 packet: fetch< c5fb3d3f110f652e3c4b3920f71b7f77c227028e refs/changes/00/1000/meta 10:35:59.323597 pkt-line.c:80 packet: fetch< dfbfb3c4d4cc7d7f519c197ef5cfa250c30b584b refs/changes/00/10000/1 10:35:59.323602 pkt-line.c:80 packet: fetch< 5955e7d66d9b0e87f93fd9746a85bff132da9794 refs/changes/00/10000/2 10:35:59.323608 pkt-line.c:80 packet: fetch< ae3baacef7926d9ce9ca4786176f404b7cf78cc1 refs/changes/00/10000/meta

Is there something else I need to do on the client-side to make this work?

Noting that the git server at gerrit.libreoffice.org might be a JGit based thing, so maybe I need to log a feature request there to support v2?
