I still want to pursue stable pack approach [1]. It's not a good fit
for clone case (cached bundles would be much better). On the other
hand it does not need special support like cached bundles and can work
with upload-pack-v1. It might fit in gsoc scope. I guess whether it
may have a chance to get merged after gsoc is the deciding factor.

Though what I had in mind (and patches) does not need on-disk caching at all.
