Right.

But maybe on repo.or.cz we can do something about it?  Like using a global 
object database, or actually teaching git about _splitting_ object 
databases into parts: something along the lines of "we repack the forked 
projects before the forkees.  That way, the objects will be still there 
when the forkee "lost" them, but will be repacked into the forked 
project's database".
