A potentially even simpler way would probably be to literally just use "git-pack-objects" directly, and just have a very special mode that allows mapping the thin pack as if it was a real pack (ie basically pre-populating a fake pack entry, where the fake part comes from adding the missing objects by hand to the mapping). So many ways to do it, so little real motivation ;) Linus
