From what I can tell, every time a packet is read using the reader in
do_fetch_pack_v2(), we're careful about checking the packet type so we
should be safe there. Also, when piping stuff over to index-pack and
unpack-objects, it looks like the resulting call to recv_sideband()
treats any control packets as flush packets so it should handle the 0002
fine.
I could have missed checking some spots, though. But as far as I can
tell, if it can't handle the 0002 properly, it was already buggy to
begin with. I agree that we can let any remaining issues be shaken out
through use.
