The other solution is to make the remote object summary line a bit 
longer, but this will be effective only when remote servers are 
upgraded.  Might that be good enough?

How about keeping track of the length of the last lines the remote end
sent (recv_sideband in sideband.c)? So that we always know how much
spaces to add to clear up to the end of line.
