From a brief read, change looks good.

In the C code, each key has to pass through the pqueue which is
(assuming auto-compaction) has log2(#tables) entries. The JGit code
assumes that the base table will be very large and the rest small.
This means that most keys come from the base table, and has some
special casing so those keys don't have to pass through the pqueue. If
you worry about efficiency, this might be something to look into.
