Subject: git objects directory

Message-ID: <dk5dgq$isv$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi,
Can someone please explain why git puts its objects in 256
sub-directories of objects instead of directly in the objects directory
itself? I am trying to learn git (actually cogito), but I still don't
understand why this structure is used.
What is the point of having the first byte of the hash as the directory
name?
