ok, there's one other question i need some info on (thank you to
nguyen for answering about git cat-file): is there a way to make
git-pack-objects _just_ give the index file, rather than go to all the
trouble of creating the pack file as well?

the reason i ask is because i would like to get the index file, parse
it for objects (as nicolas recommends) then present the contents of
"git cat-file" as files within subdirectories, via this
pseudo-VFS-layer over bittorrent.

tia,

l.
