...  I fear that
you are going to bump up against address space limitations soon
on 32 bit systems.  Then you will bump up against the 4 GiB pack
file size limit.  Which means you will need to use several packs
and avoid the '-a' flag when calling git-repack.

I presume that you are hinting that we would need to update
git-repack so that it is still useful without --all.

Yes.  :-)

Apparently the Porcelain level is still open for debate.  Someone
just needs to post a reasonable implementation to get discussion
(or lack there of) going.  I'm too tired right now to try to roll
something up right, even though it looks to be rather simple.

As it is I'm having a difficult time navigating in vi to write this
email and normally vi navigation is as easy as breathing for me...

I think pack-objects --unpacked=active-pack is ready, so I'll
push it out.

Thanks; I noticed that in your "What's in git.git" announcement.
