I was thinking of the "repacking disconnected objects" thread, but now
I see it did have a solution in listing all the objects and paths. I
take that back.

If you are asking about the ext3 performance problems, I think Linus
discussed that a while ago, why unpacked repos are slow (in addition
to huge), and there were some suggestions of using hashed directory
indexes.
