Not a new problem, but "is no Git ..." may technically be correct,
but it would be easier to read if phrased "is not a Git ..." or
something like that.
I am NOT asking _you_ to change/fix that in this patch. It
is just a note for "a low hanging fruit" for people to pick
up with a separate patch.

Good.

Output from "git grep -e '\[option' -e '\[<option' -- \*.c" tells me
that "[<options>]" would be more in line with the established
convention than "[options]".
I personally wish if all these hits from the above grep
consistently spelled it as "[options]", because there is not
much gained by enclosing the word in <> to highlight it as a
placeholder. An argument that "it is done for uniformity
with descriptions for other non option arguments, i.e. not
to special case 'options'" would not hold water, e.g. in
builtin/merge.c: N_("git merge [<options>] [<commit>...]"),
<options> is still special-cased in that it implies multiple
things, unlike "<commit>..." notation that has to explicitly
say that can have multiple. [<options>...] would have been
justifiable with the "make it uniform with non-option args",
though.
BUT this patch is not about "make usage string better"
patch, so I do NOT want you to switch upload-pack's usage
string to use the "options is special anyway, so let's not
waste two display columns with enclosing <>" convention.
So, in conclusion, "git upload-pack [<options>] <dir>".
The remainder of the patch looked OK to me.
Thanks.
