Subject: git objects directory
Message-ID: <dk5dgq$isv$1@sea.gmane.org>

Hi,

Can someone please explain why git puts its objects in 256 
sub-directories of objects instead of directly in the objects directory 
itself? I am trying to learn git (actually cogito), but I still don't 
understand  why this structure is used.

What is the point of having the first byte of the hash as the directory 
name?
