One strategy people have worked on is for servers to point clients at

server side to decide when and how to create those packfiles. So while
there is support inside Git itself for this idea (both on the server and
client side), I don't know of any servers where it is in active use.
Didn't the bundle URL work originate at GitHub? I thought this use
case was a reasonable match to the mechanism.
