Possible, but not likely, and with "git repack -a -d" running out of 
memory, we clearly already have a problem in checking that.

That is most likely git-rev-list, though. Which is why I'd like to just 
rsync the repo, and run git-rev-list on it, and see what else I can shave 
off ;)

So we're starting to see archives where single packs are problematic for
a 32-bit architecture. 

Depending on the operation, the single pack might actually be better, 

Absolutely. Which is why I said we probably need to do a LRU on pack 
fragments rather than full packs when we do the pack memory mapping.
