OK this is a really nice test repo. I have only 1 GB of ram, and 
although basic operations appear to work just fine, this data set shows 
its weight in some ways.

For example I think there might be ways to improve the pack mmap 
windowing, or git-fsck's IO patterns.  For example, git-fsck --full 
spend 96% of the time waiting for IO completion and only 4% actually 
performing some work according to top.  At that rate that makes fsck 
--full rather unusable on this repo.  Without --full then fsck completes 
in less than 2 seconds.
