Here's an idea. How about separating trees and commits from the actual
blobs (e.g. in separate packs)?

If I remember my numbers correctly, trees for any project with a
size that matters contribute nonnegligible amount of the total
pack weight.  Perhaps 10-25%.

Out of curiosity, do you think that it may be possible for tree objects 
to compress more/better if they are packed together? Or does the 
existing pack compression logic already do the diff against similar tree 
objects?

The problem with compressing and deltafying trees is with sha1 objects
identifiers, I guess.
