For the server-side to properly respond to v2 protocol requests, the
webserver must set the GIT_PROTOCOL environment variable to the value of
the Git-Protocol: request header.

Thanks for assembling these examples.

I don't mind having these in the technical documentation, but I think
most users won't find them there (nor would they even know they need to
be looking). Maybe the manpage for git-http-backend would be a better
spot. We can mention v2 in the "description" section, and then there's
some example config near the end that could include it.

Unfortunately there isn't any nginx example config there at all yet. If
you have kernel.org config you could share, that would be great. But
even starting with just the "here's how you do v2" part would be
welcome.

True, true.

In the meantime, I'll queue this as-is.

Thanks.
