In other words, to get such a pack, we'd _literally_ just do something 
like

	git-rev-list --objects-edge origin.. |
		git-pack-objects --stdout |
		uuencode

and that would be it. You'd still need to add a "diffstat" to the thing, 
and tell the other end what the current HEAD is (so that it knows what 
it's supposed to fast-forward to), but it _literally_ is that simple.

"plug-in architecture" my ass. "I recognize this - it's UNIX!".

Took me exactly an hour from mkdir cogito-bundle to cg-push to
kernel.org. :-)

By the way, originally I just wanted to index and save the pack, but
when trying to feed it to git-index-pack, I kept getting

	fatal: packfile '.git/objects/pack/pack-b2ab684daebea5b9c5a6492fa732e0d2e1799c8e.pack' has unresolved deltas

while feeding it to git-unpack-objects works fine. Any idea what's wrong?

(BTW, I got the id by sha1summing the pack file; is there an existing
way to name a pack properly if I have it lying around, unnamed? sha1sum
seems to be specific to a fairly new GNU coreutils version.)
