Hmm, I am slightly worried about doing so might defeat the whole point of
making the sample repository a separate one from git.git hosted there.

The reason it is not a branch in git.git is because I did not want to
contaminate the official git.git repository with commit objects in tree
objects (aka gitlinks); it would deny access to clients older than 1.5.2.

Hrm. I had assumed they wouldn't be a problem because nothing actually
_referenced_ them, but I suppose it would break git-fsck on such
systems.

Anyway, I think "git repack -A" is a better solution (and presumably
there is some magic on the pruning end to make sure forks do the right
thing with loose objects).
