Re: [PATCH] pack-objects: re-validate data we copy from elsewhere.

I have to say, that adding another pack-objects-specific flag to rev-list

It might be much better to just teach "git pack-objects" to walk the 
object list by hand. The whole "git-rev-list | git-pack-objects" approach 
made more sense back when git-rev-list was the _only_ think listing 
objects, but now that we've librarized the whole object listing thing, 
maybe it's time to avoid the pipeline and just do it inside the packer 
logic.

Hmm? Comments?

Yes it all makes perfect sense, though I am a bit too tired to
assess how much work it would involve right now.
