I wonder if all of this would be less confusing as:

> +	files are consolidated into a single pack.

I.e. just skimming these docs I'd expect "base" to somehow be the thing
that we initially cloned, of course in almost all cases that *is* the
largest pack, but not necessarily. So rather than communicate that
expectation let's just say largest/biggest?

Maybe I'm the only one who finds this confusing...
