For what it's worth I have a medium-term plan similar to Gitlab's with respect to moving chunks of repositories onto lower cost storage media & to promisor remotes. Like others, I wasn't at all sure about the original approach (and commented at the time). What Christian is proposing here seems much cleaner, is usable without complex gymnastics or safety equipment, and provides a better building block for future work.
