As someone who is implementing the server side of protocol V2 in JGit, I
now have a bit more insight into this :-)
First of all, I used to not have a strong opinion on the existence of a
new endpoint, but now I think that it's better to *not* have git-serve.
As it is, as far as I can tell, upload-pack also needs to support (and
does support, as of the end of this patch set) protocol v2 anyway, so it
might be better to merely upgrade upload-pack.

If you are stating that this is optional, write "*1command-args". (RFC
5234 also supports square brackets, but "*1" is already used in
pack-protocol.txt and http-protocol.txt.)

arg should be wrapped in PKT-LINE, I think, and terminated by an LF.
