"alternative object repository" is a git term (and most git user never
use, or even heard about it)
Basically, if it can't find an object in
u...@..../xx.git-objects-packs-pack-xxxx.pack/1/ ,
it will try u...@..../xx.git/1/objects/xx/xxxxxx  and then
u...@..../xx.git/1/objects/packs/pack-xxxx.pack/ .

I think we should use this only _only_ when we are initializing a
large repository,
or try to recover from file fall out from the network.
