Just to set my expectation straight.

Is it fair to say that in the ideal endgame state, this will be like "git pack-objects" in that end users won't have to know about it, but would serve as a crucial building block that is invoked by other front-end commands that are more familiar to end users (just like pack-objects are used behind the scenes by repack, push, etc.)?
