The option --pack_header= is also not documented here
and in git-fetch-pack (others?), but it seems like that
might have been intentional?  It look like it is the
pack header version number and object count.  Dunno.

It is pretty much an implementation detail of an internal communication
between fetch-pack and unpack-objects.

The option would help anybody who wants to create an alternative
implementation of fetch-pack but otherwise won't be of much use.
