If you strip the data after the SHA1 when pipping into pack-objects then 
you'll have horrible delta compression results.  The path names after 
each SHA1 is used to sort objects when trying to find best matches for 
delta compression. So you should preserve those and feed it back 
especially with those packs that you still want delta compression for.

Ah, I'll have to rethink my script then. Thanks!
