That makes sense, though I question whether packs are really helping you
in the first place. I wonder if you would be better off keep your
non-delta binaries as loose objects (this would require a new option to
pack-objects and teaching "gc --auto" to ignore these when counting
loose objects, but would be fairly straightforward).
