All good, but ...

rubs me the wrong way. ;-)

cache.h is such a misnomer of a name, and a kitchen sink
of a file in the Git project that in an ideal world it would
be way smaller and contain only things related to some
caching related code.

I would suggest object.h or object-store.h instead.
Probably the object-store as that will be the only external
exposure and hopefully we'd get the objects in a similar
shape as the refs subsystem eventually?

I might be biased by commits such as 4f39cd821d1
(pack: move pack name-related functions, 2017-08-18)
