I think Git development is dynamic enough to justify 1.6.0 right after 
1.5.4.

I don't think so.  First, if packv4 actually happens, it might justify 
v2.0.0 and not v1.6.0.

But so far there were steady improvement made to the system even with 
the current pack format, so the return on the investment for packv4 is 
diminishing.  The largest road block for packv4 at the moment is a 
complete refactoring of the tree walking code.
