sorry for the somewhat late response - i found this thread only now.
at qt-project.org we have a somewhat peculiar setup: we have the qt4 repository,
and a bunch of qt5 repositories which resulted from a split. qt5 is unde

Generalize: Introduce volatile alternate object stores. Commands like
(remote) fetch, repack, gc will copy desired objects they see there.
That allows
