Re: [PATCH v4 03/35] pkt-line: add delim packet support

Brandon Williams [off-list ref] writes:

One of the design goals of protocol-v2 is to improve the semantics of
flush packets.  Currently in protocol-v1, flush packets are used both to
indicate a break in a list of packet lines as well as an indication that
one side has finished speaking.  This makes it particularly difficult
to implement proxies as a proxy would need to completely understand git
protocol instead of simply looking for a flush packet.

Good ;-) Yes, this has been one of the largest gripe about the
smart-http support code we have.
