I also didn't find the reasoning spelled out in his response, but I have definitely had off-list discussions with Stolee where it was important to be able to pass a value to `--object-dir` which does *not* belong to a Git repository (but is used as a dumping ground for packs, a MIDX, and loose objects). It may be worthwhile to recapitulate that discussion here on the list. (I'm hoping that Stolee won't mind filling in the details, since I seem to have forgotten most of them). Thanks, Taylor
