I kind of expected this one to cook in next for a bit while people
decided whether the larger hashes were irritating or not. Despite
working on the implementation, I'm on the fence myself.

I'd kind of hoped people would play with core.disambiguate and the hints
and see if they still actually wanted to bump the default abbrev (and
how aggressively to do so; if core.disambiguate means most of the
ambiguity is just between commits, that cuts the number of
collision-interesting objects by an order of magnitude).

Sure.  Let's keep them cooking.

 "git pack-objects" in a repository with many packfiles used to
 spend a lot of time looking for/at objects in them; the accesses to
 the packfiles are now optimized by checking the most-recently-used
 packfile first.

 Will hold to see if people scream.

This has been in next for 6 weeks. Is it time to consider graduating it?

Perhaps.
