Yeah, that does help, thanks a lot.
It seems that object_store.generate_pack_contents can be used to
generate packs. Maybe that could be set a a default in send/push method.

I'll deep further and see how I can write a determine_wants function.

I should have guessed it.

Yeah, I though it was that way. I at least hope supporting the smart
version of the HTTP protocol is not *that* hard. :-|

I already read and understood most of the protocol, but did not spend
time imagining how I would implement the HTTP client, since I though
until 1 hour ago that Dulwich supported it.
But I'll dig further as soon as I've some time to spend on it and will
come back to bother you if I need.

Thanks for the hints Dave. :)
