protocol: re-enable v2 protocol by default
Protocol v2 became the default in v2.26.0 via 684ceae32d (fetch: default
to protocol version 2, 2019-12-23). More widespread use turned up a
regression in negotiation. That was fixed in v2.27.0 via 4fa3f00abb
(fetch-pack: in protocol v2, in_vain only after ACK, 2020-04-27), but we
also reverted the default to v0 as a precuation in 11c7f2a30b (Revert
"fetch: default to protocol version 2", 2020-04-22).
In v2.28.0, we re-enabled it for experimental users with 3697caf4b9
(config: let feature.experimental imply protocol.version=2, 2020-05-20)
and haven't heard any complaints. v2.28 has only been out for 2 months,
but I'd generally expect people turning on feature.experimental to also
stay pretty up-to-date. So we're not likely to collect much more data by
waiting. In addition, we have no further reports from people running
v2.26.0, and of course some people have been setting protocol.version
manually for ages.
Let's move forward with v2 as the default again. It's possible there are
still lurking bugs, but we won't know until it gets more widespread use.
And we can find and squash them just like any other bug at this point.
