    pack-objects: Allow use of pre-generated pack. · f3123c4a

    git-pack-objects can reuse pack files stored in $GIT_DIR/pack-cache
    directory, when a necessary pack is found.  This is hopefully useful
    when upload-pack (called from git-daemon) is expected to receive
    requests for the same set of objects many times (e.g full cloning
    request of any project, or updates from the set of heads previous day
    to the latest for a slow moving project).
    
    Currently git-pack-objects does *not* keep pack files it creates for
    reusing.  It might be useful to add --update-cache option to it,
    which would allow it store pack files it created in the pack-cache
    directory, and prune rarely used ones from it.
