I've been focused recently on understanding and mitigating the growth of a few internal repositories. Some of these are growing much larger than expected for the number of contributors, and there are multiple aspects to why this growth is so large. This is part of the RFC I submitted [1] [2] involving the path-walk API, though this doesn't use the path-walk API directly. In full repack cases, it seems that the --full-name-hash option gets nearly as good compression as the --path-walk option introduced in that series. I continue to work on that feature as well, so we can review it after this series is complete.
Based on the discussion in this thread, I recommend pulling this branch out of 'seen' and instead focus on the --path-walk option which is now available at [3]. If we choose to revisit the --full-name-hash option, then that can be done on top of that feature which is probably a higher priority.
