Bittorrent requires some stability around torrent files.

Can packs be generated deterministically?


I hope that I don't get something technically wrong (did not read any code, only skimmed the docs) and that this question is not redundant:

Why not provide an alternative mode for the git:// protocoll that instead of retrieving a big packaged blob breaks this down to the smallest atomic objects from the repository? Those are not changing and should be able to survive partial transfers. While this might not be as efficient network traffic-wise it would provide a solution for those behind breaking connections.
