I'm certainly not opposed, and this could certainly be done in an
additive way (i.e., after this series). I think the current approach has
nice properties, but I could also see "roll-up all packs that have
mtimes after xyz timestamp" being useful.

It would even be possible to reuse a lot of the geometric repack
machinery. Having a separate path to arrange packs by their mtimes and
determine the "split" at pack whose mtime is nearest the provided one
would do exactly what you want.

(As a side-note, reading the original threads about your git-exproll was
quite humbling, since it turns out all of the problems I thought were
hard had already been discussed eight years ago!)

Thanks,
Taylor
