This came from seeing `ODB` in a couple of tech docs (commit-graph and parallel-checkout) and an 'odb' option in pack-redundant, which I should have noted in the commit message.

I'll update the commit message to clarify that we are using that TLA, though we aren't always consistent in our distinctions between concepts and implementation in many places (e.g. Object Store vs Repository; Staging area..; etc.)

TLAs, UNAs, etc. have been a bug-bear of mine from doing large engineering collaborations.

-- Philip

(for completeness;-) ODB Object Data Base. TLA Three Letter Abbreviation. UNA Un-Named Abbreviation.
