After some debugging today I have realized that the digest code in
JGit is crap and never worked correctly.  I've managed to patch it
together enough to successfully fetch the references from
git-receive-pack in Gerrit, but then it fails on the second request
when uploading the commands and pack file.  I had to stop debugging to
catch my ride home, so I'll look at it more on Monday.
