Caching seems a bit dicey to me; security concerns and all. I would much
rather have it discover packs on disk that provided a subset of the
necessary objects; repository cloning would then be a process of
delivering any available packs and then packing up the remaining
objects. Clever administration of the repository could then construct a
single pack of 'historical' data followed by periodic packs of
incremental data.

Yeah, I know, I should just implement this and see how well it works in
practice. I apologize for thinking in public.
