It is actually not done, I worked with Nicolas trying to change our
current discovery API to allow the new version to coexist. But we didn't
reach our goal.

Once the API changes are in place, I'm quite confident introducing the
new protocol will be very easy.

I spend my sunday (+ part of monday) trying to solve a bug introduced by
the protocol unification. Returning "unsynced changes" during push
wasn't correctly handled in both http and ssh.
