Hey Robin, Now that the GSoC projects have been announced I can give you the good news that one of our two projects is to optimise this stage in git-daemon; I'm hoping we can get it down to being almost as cheap as the workaround you described in your post. I'll certainly be using your repository as a test case :-) So stay tuned!
