"ls .git/objects/" would tell you that no object is important enough to squat on a single "prefix" and exclude others, and two objects in 00/ hierarchy are by no means closer together than an object in 00/ hierarchy and another object in 01/ hiearchy. The idea to use the fan-out in the ref namespace is pretty much the same.
