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.

Rob :)
