Subject: Compressing packed-refs
Message-ID: <20200716221026.dgduvxful32gkhwy@chatter.i7.local>

Hi, all:

I know repos with too many refs is a corner-case for most people, but 
it's looming large in my world, so I'm wondering if it makes sense to 
compress the packed-refs file when "git pack-refs" is performed?

What would the implications be, other than minor performance degradation 
when reading it?
