You might find [1] useful as a stopgap (thanks, Tomas!).

Something like Jeff's "priming the well with a server-specified
bundle" proposal[2] might be a good way to make the same trick
transparent to clients in the future.

Even with that, later fetches, which grab a pack generated on the fly
to only contain the objects not already fetched, are generally not
resumable.  Overcoming that would presumably require larger protocol
changes, and I don't know of anyone working on it.  (My workaround
when in a setup where this mattered was to use the old-fashioned
"dumb" http protocol.  It worked fine.)

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
