Thanks. This could be combined with the previous patch, since that
patch is enforcing what this patch documents.

I think this removed more than intended.
Before c714e45f (receive-pack: implement advertising and receiving
push options, 2016-07-14), this said
This list is followed by a flush-pkt and then the packfile that should
contain all the objects that the server will need to complete the new
references.
which I think would work fine.

This seems confusing to me both before and after. How does
update-request get used? Is it supposed to include the packfile or not?
Where do push-options fit into an unsigned request?

Likewise this one.
What does it mean to be consistent?
