Last I looked, it was getting pretty solid. I just ran out of time to
look at patches in September.

My main concerns are that it's:

- simple (looking pretty good here)
- fast (and here)
- maximally backward-compatible

The last gets interesting. Do we want this on by default? Maybe not, as
that will break old clients working with new repos, often with no
advantage. On the other hand, we'd then need a way to turn it on, which
means it'd be simpler to have it always on.
