You still have not acknowledged that you want to do (in essence) _exactly_ the same. Your "temp indexes" awfully remind me of tree objects. And that is no wonder, since you _need_ something like that, however you want to avoid it. Just admit it that you found -- again -- that flat directory structure does not work, and you therefore need some smaller structures. We just happen to call them "tree objects", and for ease of concept we wrap directories in them.
