The real reason _seems_ to be the "--unpacked=pack-....pack" arguments. I 
literally had 232 pack-files, and it looks like a lot of the time was 
spent in that silly loop oer 'ignore_packed' in find_pack_entry(), when 
revision.c does that "has_sha1_pack()" thing. You get a O(n**2) effect in 
number of pack-files: for each commit we look over every pack-file, and 
for every pack-file we look at, we look over each ignore_pack entry.
I think we can add a single bit to "struct packed_git" and in the middle
of setup_revisions() perform the O(N**2) once, so that find_pack_entry()
can check the bit without looping.
Roughly like this, although we probably should change the API because most
of the callers pass NULL to it.  Also we may need a way to say "I am done
with ignoring, please clear the pack_ignore bits from all of them" API.
