Ah, I forgot all about that JGit workaround.  Yes, we can exploit
it, and any implementation that does not understand it correctly
(including git before 13e67aa3 (v0 protocol: fix sha1/sha256
confusion for capabilities^{}, 2023-04-14)) does not work with JGit
when cloning an empty repository anyway, so it is not all that bad.

But I tend to agree with your conclusion that it may be an update
for the sake of completeness to retrofit v0/v1 on the serving side.
It would not help any real-world use cases all that much.

Thanks.
