Possible, but not likely, and with "git repack -a -d" running out of memory, we clearly already have a problem in checking that.

That is most likely git-rev-list, though. Which is why I'd like to just rsync the repo, and run git-rev-list on it, and see what else I can shave off ;)

Absolutely. Which is why I said we probably need to do a LRU on pack fragments rather than full packs when we do the pack memory mapping.
