I suspect the hardest part is "rev-list --objects" (now most of

walking machinery.

Do we want "link" to be unwrapped, though ?

Once you have "rev-list --objects", you should be able to drive
pack-objects with its output.

Wouldn't we then run into the scalability problems Linus was
concerned about ?

Hmph.

If the plumbing layer does not have to (although I haven't
thought it through, it does feel like it even shouldn't) unwrap
"link" and let the Porcelain layer to deal with it, that would
certainly make rev-list/revision.c part simpler.

I like it.
