Shouldn't feeding "git-rev-list --object" output plus
handcrafted list of objects in 2.6.11 tree object to
git-pack-objects just work???
You could do that. And yes, we can add support for "tag" objects too 
(which the packing doesn't do at all right now. So this is not a 
"fundamental" problem, it's just a practical one right now.

No.  The pull protocol Dan did expects to throw compressed
representation around on the wire (which is valid if you assume
uncompressed transfer) and does not use read-sha1-file --
write-sha1-file pair, so all three do not work.
Fair enough. I'd prefer for the pull/push to push object packs around 
anyway, so there's some more work there..
