About the git part: There's an interesting statement from Linus [1] with which I can
totally agree (and additionally this one[2]). So probably even this is not a "high
priority, do nothing else" task :P

Attach any specific things to that as subtasks, y'all.
Thanks for getting the discussion started. I was talking about this yesterday with
some people and yeah, file and revision sha1s immediately came to mind.
Also possibly a future issue: Git--but we'll mostly want to wait for various upstreams
to make progress here. There's some interesting thoughts over at this fork[0] (h/t to
Tim)
But, like you said (and Dan pointed out on the task), this is far from a drop everything
situation...we just need to start making some inroads to this sooner rather than later.
Since it's broken, making it faster is an optimization problem so the writing is on
the wall.
