+If the 'filter' feature is advertised, the following argument can be
+included in the client's request:
+
+ filter <filter-spec>

+ using one of several filtering techniques. These are intended
+ for use with partial clone and partial fetch operations. See
+ `rev-list` for possible "filter-spec" values.

delimiter packets (0001), with each section beginning with its section

1 - pack data
2 - progress messages
3 - fatal error message just before stream aborts

+a request.
