One thing we all forgot to mention here is that even if it was a good
idea (which it is not), implementing it means a flag day: changing in
the pack format, wire protocol and APIs, messing up with compatibility
with users of pre-flag-day git, and rippling out to all the GUIs,
frontends and integration scripts out there.
A veritable mess that would reberberate for years.
Any proposal that touches the core git datamodel... better implement
something that is outrageously wondrously good and impossible to do
any other way.
My guess is that people that parachute into this list and propose
datamodel changes haven't thought this aspect through.
cheers,
