Agreed. I was too quick to dismiss the loss of resumption.
I'll take another look at preserving the predictable partial pack while
preventing concurrent writers, including the handoff and stale-file
cases Peff raised. Dumb HTTP has the same underlying concurrency issue,
so I'll keep that path in mind as well before sending a reroll.
Thanks,
Ted
