Oh well; that pretty much settles it then.
But as you state, its easy to refine it over time, and the closer we
get to the end the more likely it is to be correct. Unless its that
23 MiB blob. As it takes up about 85% of that repository's pack.
I had imagined (foolishly), that most objects would be diffs, and would be
similarly sized.
Scratch that.
