What implementation does loggerhead use for serving branches over a dumb
http request?

My concern is that it is using the built-in HTTPServer (or whatever it
is called), which does *not* support range requests.

Which means that every time we ask "give me 100 bytes in the middle of
this pack file" it returns "here are the 100MB for the pack file, you
sort it out".

Which "works" for some value of working. I would offer that the value of
working under those conditions is such that you should probably disable
it, and require using the smart requests...
