I am not very surprised by the fact that many packfiles that were obtained by thin pack transfer have many duplicate objects (due to having to include the delta bases), and it is natural to expect that deduplication would save many bytes. It's not all that interesting. I am more interested in making sure that we can assure that in the combined single pack, (1) objects are ordered for good locality of access and (2) objects are getting good delta compression.
