 The original implementation of "git archive --remote" more or less
 bypassed the transport layer and did not work over http(s).  The
 version 2 of the protocol is defined to allow going over http(s) as
 well as Git native transport.

 Will merge to 'master'.

The first two patches (test cleanup and packet_reader refactor) are OK,
but the latter two will break the archive command when an old client
attempts to talk to a new server (due to the version advertisement
problem noted in [1]). Sorry that I didn't catch that these had made it
into next.
