It's not quite fair to compare with bitkeeper, since my changeset comments are 
only the name of the bk->cvs patch, and I've only got 28k changesets vs bk's 
60k or so.

In terms of actually making use of this, we need to deal with the hard linked 
files during push/pull.  This means using -H on rsync and teaching the 
push/pull code about packed files.

git-pack needs to be able to unpack/undelta files so that people can clean a 
tree.

git-fsck-cache needs to understand packed files and deltas.
