In any case, I have a suspicion that streaming to a single loose object file would not buy us much (that is the only case the "cross directory rename" could matter), exactly because we wouldn't want to leave an object in loose form if it is so big that we do not want to slurp it in full into memory anyway. If we stream such a huge object directly to a new pack, on the other hand, there won't be any cross directory rename issues. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
