Caching features have been discussed, but that means the daemon needs to 
have write-access to some directory within the repository. It would also 
work poorly for projects that see very rapid development unless the 
cached pack-files can be amended to. A sort of "create packs on demand". 
It shouldn't be too difficult, really.
