I'd suggest against it, but you can (and should) just repack often enough

especially if you have large files, you may want to make things "every
<n>
bytes" rather than "every <n> files".
How about forking off a pack-objects and handing it one file name at a
time over a pipe. When I hand it the next file name I delete the first
file. Does pack-objects make multiple passes over the files? This
model would let me hand it all 1M files.
Why don't you just write the pack file directly? Pack files without
deltas have a very simple structure, and git-index-pack will create a
pack index file for the pack file you give it.
