That should be fine.

Here's a dummy client that works against both jgit and C Git:

  perl -e '
	$h="fcfcfb1fd94829c1a1704f894fc111d14770d34e";
	$c="multi_ack side-band-64k ofs-delta";
    sub w{$_=shift;printf "%4.4x%s",4+length,$_;}
    w("git-upload-pack /.git");
    w("want $h $c\n");
    printf "0000";
    w("done")
  ' | nc localhost 9418

Are you sure you are flushing the IO buffers in the dummy client?
