A potentially even simpler way would probably be to literally just use 
"git-pack-objects" directly, and just have a very special mode that allows 
mapping the thin pack as if it was a real pack (ie basically 
pre-populating a fake pack entry, where the fake part comes from adding 
the missing objects by hand to the mapping).

So many ways to do it, so little real motivation ;)
