Heh. Exercise left to the reader. Right now we do only forward references (and rev-list.c actually turns that off, since it has no use for them). But doing reverse refs should be easy - in the same place we do the forward ones. I'd suggest making "track_object_refs == -1" mean "reverse refs". (I think the only thing that uses forwards refs is fsck. Nobody else wants them, or would prefer the reverse kind - since forwards refs you can just look up yourself anyway).
