on the other hand, it would be a good thing if pack files could be cached.
in a peer-peer git environment the cache would not be used very much, but
when you have a large number of people tracking a central repository (or
even a pseudo-central one like the kernel) you have a lot of people
upgrading from one point to the next point.
Worth noting that this also applies to the raw git protocol.
IIRC the native git server will use existing packs when it can.
it would be interesting to modify git to record what packs it generates
and then see how much a big server (like kernel.org) would re-use a pack
under different caching strategies.
