Re: [RFC PATCH v2] fetch-pack: log(n)-transmission find_common()

FWIW, I had to back this patch out from my version as things seemed to 
fall into an infinite loop of ref negotiation while fetching the Linux 
kernel repository at some point.  Doing a "git fetch -v -v" turned up an 
endless stream of "got" and "have" lines.  I was in a hurry for $work so 
didn't think of preserving my local refs for reproduction of the 
problem.

Ah.  Thanks for the report, though having a test case would be great.
I've been running it without problems since I completed v2 more than a
month ago, so I don't expect it to be an obvious mistake.
