It has been a few times that I ended up with such a confusing display:
|remote: Generating pack...
|remote: Done counting 17 objects.
|remote: Result has 9 objects.
|remote: Deltifying 9 objects.
|remote:  100% (9/9) done
|remote: Unpacking 9 objects
|Total 9, written 9 (delta 8), reused 0 (delta 0)
| 100% (9/9) done

The confusion can be avoided in most cases by writing the remote message in one go to prevent interleacing with local messages. The buffer declaration has been moved inside recv_sideband() to avoid extra string copies.
