Because I don't know how to make it _possible_ for large repositories
otherwise.  Consider a Linux-distribution which handles each package
as one submodule.

I don't think that it's too much balanced towards fsck.
The separated object store also helps reduce the memory requirement for
large pushs/pulls.
Sharing objects can be achieved by alternates if you want.
If someone comes up with a nice way to handle everything in one big
object store I would happily use that! :-)
