The series is not quite ready but could be found here:

The series is not too complicated, the steps are:

* define some binary encoding,
* using it for push
* using it for pull
   (in the same version to simplify the bundle2 capabilities)

The main challenges we have to go through are:

* pushkey hooks compatibility,
* not updating local bookmarks blindly on pull.

I will make sure it's ready to queue very soon.
