There was another attempt at doing the same very recently:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/191140

I could swear there was a second one, but apparently that was you. Neither you nor Marco submitter have so far answered the question I raised in

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/191155

which can be summarized as: please make a case -- and put it in the message! -- for or against making this configurable. Is there a speed tradeoff? (However, you could steal some of Daniel Stenberg's reasoning!)

Note that Marco (the submitter in the first one) has told me privately that he could not pursue this further right now, so I suppose he'd be happy if you could finish it.
