Fwiw, I currently get around this when mirroring by having all
the remotes I care about mirrored to a "hidden" root repo, and
having other repos point to the hidden root objects via
object/info/alternates. Not that great for usability and
probably potentially racy...

The Debian version of gzip(1) has an --rsyncable patch which
might be of help.
