commit 1a0d06a3c2608bd281c3c156a9b008508983decf
from: Stefan Sperling <stsp@stsp.name>

fix "got fetch" hang against out-of-date remote repositories

Do not assume that remote repositories will always have our objects.
In Git protocol terms: Do not wait for an ACK from the server before
sending the final "done" message. Otherwise servers might be waiting
for more have-lines from us in order to find a common ancestor, which
will never be sent by us.

Problem reported by James Cook who also provided an initial test case
