One obvious issue with this current implementation is that it inlines much
of the delta calculation into the "Enumerate objects" phase, and thus makes
it single-threaded.
Naïvely, traversal of history partitioned by paths smells
embarrassingly parallelizable; it may need some post processing to
make sure that the same object only appears once, though, and the
devil probably is in the details ;-).
Thanks for an enjoyable cover letter that pulls readers in.
