schacon: Really like the "Independent Tree Hash Headers" idea. How difficult would this be to get this functionality into git? Would it cause any breaking changes with older versions? Have you discussed this with any git devs to see if they are open to adding it?

  Also, functionally, this is incredibly easy to add to Git.
