Well, my point would be that we already have the necessary plumbing to
solve the problem (discovery and distribution of out-of-tree objects).
Some porcelain support on top of this is all that is needed (well,
almost. I just tried downloading my own tarball, and got an error
about the ref not pointing to a commit. But that shouldn't be too hard
to fix)
