That would incur performance problems, because packed objects are |

stored as differences to other objects ( similar to how later pieces in |
| 8 |
a gzip stream are dependent on earlier pieces in the stream ). |

Subsequently, having a real checkout substantially improves performance. |

For a FUSE module to compete with this, it would need a lot of special |
| 13 |
mechanics, including keeping lots of memory reserved for state. |

So you might end up trading that additional 800mb disk space for |
| 16 |
500mb-1.5gb of memory utilization. |
