on the other hand, it would be a good thing if pack files could be cached.
in a peer-peer git environment the cache would not be used very much, but when you have a large number of people tracking a central repository (or even a pseudo-central one like the kernel) you have a lot of people upgrading from one point to the next point.
Worth noting that this also applies to the raw git protocol.
