Assuming that they also retain the "having an object implies having all
of the objects it points to" property, then it makes it hard to talk
about subsets or single refs. If I fetch from you and you communicate
your repo state as some hash, then I am stuck getting _all_ of your
refs to complete this property.

push/pull would still work at the branch level. The local state
tracking objects wouldn't be exchanged.

Fair enough.

My spider sense still tingles about this, and I have the feeling that
you might run into weird merge problems when two refs are updated
simultaneously. I guess that shouldn't happen since you will write out
the complete "here are the refs" after every operation, leaving no room
for simultaneous updates, but I haven't given it enough thought to be
sure there aren't funny corner cases.
