Note that in the case of the ginormous-tree this holds as well. Many
small files, but in insanely deeply nested directories with insane
fan-out. If you need to download all the trees you don't save that
much bandwith. OTOH, I'm not only concerned about bandwidth, just
being able to run 'git status' without it taking half a minute would
be sweet.
