That is certainly good for establishing the baseline, but you
still need to leverage the inherent delta-compressibility
between related blobs/trees by also doing something like what I
described as "diff package", don't you?

Yes... yes you could have files and diffs generated statically...

although something like a bittorrent server/client/frontend, call it 
"gittorrent" (I hate being the first to make this pun) could walk the 
hashes dynamically (
Ihave: sha,sha,sha,sha... Sendme: shaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hereswhatyouneedfromgit: file,file,file,diff,diff,diff,...)
