The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports
the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a
pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request.
The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the
discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request
starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified.
For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a
Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server.
The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas
created by human authors against text sources with the occasional
small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration
option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this
buffer if the default is not sufficient.
For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's
memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST
request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one
HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack
file locally.

When pushing over the git protocol, pack-objects gives
progress reports about the pack being sent. If "push" is
given the --quiet flag, it now passes "-q" to pack-objects,
suppressing this output.

The fetching of OFS_DELTA objects has been negotiated between both peers
since git version 1.4.4. However, this was missing from the push side
where every OFS_DELTA objects were always converted to REF_DELTA objects
causing an increase in transferred data.
To fix this, both the client and the server processes have to be
modified: the former to invoke pack-objects with --delta-base-offset
when the server provides the ofs-delta capability, and the later to send
that capability when OFS_DELTA objects are allowed as already indicated
by the repack.usedeltabaseoffset config variable which is TRUE by
default since git v1.6.0.

For native-protocol pushes (and other protocols as they are converted
to the new method), this moves the refspec match, tracking update, and
report message out of send-pack() and into transport_push(), where it
can be shared completely with other protocols. This also makes fetch
and push more similar in terms of what code is in what file.

Existing "git push --all" is almost perfect for backing up to
another repository, except that "--all" only means "all
branches" in modern git, and it does not delete old branches and
tags that exist at the back-up repository that you have removed
from your local repository.
This teaches "git-send-pack" a new "--mirror" option. The
difference from the "--all" option are that (1) it sends all
refs, not just branches, and (2) it deletes old refs you no
longer have on the local side from the remote side.
