upload-pack: Implement no-done capability

spearce · gitster · commit 3e63b21aced1 · 2011-03-15T12:14:35.000-07:00
If the client requests both multi_ack_detailed and no-done then
upload-pack is free to immediately send a PACK following its first
'ACK %s ready' message.  The upload-pack response actually winds
up being:

  ACK %s common
  ... (maybe more) ...
  ACK %s ready
  NAK
  ACK %s
  PACK.... the pack stream ....

For smart HTTP connections this saves one HTTP RPC, reducing
the overall latency for a trivial fetch.  For git:// and ssh://
a no-done option slightly reduces latency by removing one
server-&gt;client-&gt;server round-trip at the end of the common
ancestor negotiation.
