is there a git command that can capture in a separate file the packfile that
is generated and transmitted from a "want"ed branch during the
git-upload-pack command? I need a good sample to study.

No.

But you can create an input file yourself, the pkt-line format is
pretty simple. Pipe the input to git-upload-pack, and it will spit
back the response. :-)

If you are running 1.7.5-rc0 or newer, GIT_TRACE_PACKET may also be of
help.
