I apologize if I misrepresented you above.

Well, there is "complain loudly but do it anyway" and "hard stop".

JGit currently has the leading '0' be a "hard stop".  Because this is
the fsck code running inside of the receive-pack service, validating
what the user sent is isn't malformed.  Its clearly malformed.

This only got discovered because Mike tried to take a repository
from GitHub and push it into Gerrit Code Review, where JGit's fsck
routine cannot be bypassed during receive-pack.

Are you suggesting JGit should change its behavior to be "complain
loudly but do it anyway"?  I'm open to making the code change there
if that is how you think a Git implementation should behave in
this case.  But I don't want to do it just to match CGit's behavior,
sometimes CGit can be wrong.  :-)
