No good deed goes unpunished. ;)

Before even looking at the implementation, my first question would be
whether this pattern is applicable in several places in git (i.e., is it
worth the extra complexity of abstracting out in the first place). I
think there are a few task-queue patterns already in git; for example
the delta search in pack-objects. Is the interface given here sufficient
to convert pack-objects? Is the result nicer to read? Is it as
efficient?

We do not need to convert all possible call-sites to the new abstracted
code at once. But I find that converting at least _one_ is a good litmus
test to confirm that a new interface is generally useful.
