By the way, for some reason it was unusually painful to find the
exact breakage by bisecting between maint-2.4 and maint-2.6.  It
somehow ended up on fingering random places like v2.6.0 itself.

The true culprit is 068c77a5 (builtin/send-pack.c: use parse_options
API, 2015-08-19).  I didn't dug deep enough to tell if we recently
broke "git bisect" or if there are something wrong in the shape of
my history.
