This brings up an interesting possibility, which is off topic
from this thread.

You _could_ (I am not advocating this, just thinking aloud) have
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY and GIT_COMMIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY pointing at
two separate object pools, with the value of
GIT_COMMIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY being on
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES list.  Your commits go to
GIT_COMMIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY (local to the tree) and everything
else go to GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY (can be shared across trees).

Hmm.... Interesting.  My gut feeling tells me not to go there,
though.
