The
essential part of the commit is the SHA1 list. The path names belong
to the file objects and should be stored there.

Sorry, but it'll take code and benchmarks to convince me this is a
good idea.

Same here. But I do want to note that adding the pathname to the blob
(and storing them on the combined SHA1 I assume) is broken, broken,
broken. It won't support any of the great semantics that git has
today.

Jon: I think you need to think carefully about the key operations like
diff and log on paths on projects like linux or mozilla. Even better,
craft a proof-of-concept patch that shows how that'd work, and why
it's faster/smaller.
