That's great!

FWIW on this mailing list, we prefer to have patches inlined so that it is easier for reviewers to comment (it is almost impossible to get any patch into git.git without review, and because reviewing is such an ungratifying job you want to make it easier).

The patch is pretty straight-forward, but I'd love to see some information in the commit message about:

- performance numbers on the _server_ (i.e. how does the RAM and CPU load 
  compare to, say, bzip2?)
- how to disable/enable it (yes, it's in the documentation, but you can 
  make things easier still)
- whether it is turned on by default, and why.

Thanks, Dscho
