C Git is not the only client that can talk to upload-pack. A buggy
client may send both. The least we need is make sure it would not
crash or break the server security in any way. But if we have to
consider that, we may as well reject with a clear message, which would
help the client writer. And speaking of clients..

You missed Junio's keyword "existing". Your new client will work well
with your new server. But it breaks "git clone --depth" (or "git fetch
--depth") for all existing git installations.
