Is this about the fetch-pack protocol where

 (1) upload-pack shows what it has; fetch-pack keeps reading until it sees
     a flush; then

 (2) fetch-pack shows what it wants; upload-pack keeps reading; then

 (3) fetch-pack sends a bunch of have's, followed by a flush; upload-pack
     keeps reading and then responds with an ACK-continue or NAK, which
     fetch-pack reads; this step continues zero or more times; and then
     finally

 (4) fetch-pack sends a bunch of have's, followed by a flush; upload-pack
     keeps reading and then responds with an ACK, fetch-pack says done.

Where do you need "enough buffer"?  The conversation looks very much "it's
my turn to talk", "now it's your turn to talk and I'll wait until I hear
from you", to me.  I am puzzled.
