Perhaps I am missing something from the previous discussions, but I
am having trouble understanding the "main packed ref cache" part of
the above.  "main" as opposed to...?  Is it envisioned that later
somebody can lock one subpart while another can lock a different and
non-overlapping subpart, to make changes independently, and somehow
their non-overlapping changes will be consolidated into a single
consistent result?
