It looks like you can use git-unpack-objects to unpack ALL objects, but how can you unpack only recent ones that you are likely to use while leaving the ancient stuff packed? Ideally I want to unpack all file objects from the current commit, and a reasonable number of commit objects going back into the history so accessing them with checkout, diff, log, etc will be fast.
