Re: [PATCH 0/2] repack: pack everything into promisor packfile in partial repos

Phillip Wood [off-list ref] writes:

I was wondering if it would be possible to cache the tip commits in
promisor packs when repacking so that a subsequent repack only has to
walk the commits added since the last repack when it is trying to
figure out if a local object should be moved into a promisor pack.

I was wondering the same thing.  If packfiles (and bundles) record
the entry points and the exit points of the DAG, it would help quite
a bit.

It would be helpful if the cover letter or commit messages discussed
the tradeoffs of these changes and updated that document accordingly.

I like the suggestion very much.

Thanks for a review.
