It's possibly useful if you oftenly access old objects with
git-cat-file or git-ls-tree.

Not being a Perl hacker, a friend and I eg. started to hack GIT
support into LXR. I've just posted some very early patches on the LXR
mailing list
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=1734). What
would be even more interesting is to not unpack _all_ objects, but
only those belonging to specifically mentioned commits or tags. I
think LXR could make _good_ use of that.
