Somehow I missed that one.  Thanks for the link to it.

It is not so surprising that history walking runs rings around
enumerating objects in packfiles, if packfiles are built well.

A well-built packfile tends to has newer objects in base form and
has delta that goes in backward direction (older objects are
represented as delta against newer ones).  This helps warlking from
the tips of the history quite a bit, because your delta base cache
will tend to have the base object (i.e. objects in the newer part of
the history you just walked) that will be required to access the
"next" older part of the history more often than not.

Trying to read the objects in the pack in their object name order
would essentially mean reading them in a cryptgraphically random
order.  Half the time you will end up wanting to access an object
that is near the tip of a very deep delta chain even before you've
accessed any of the base objects in the delta chain.

Yeah, I think "fetch --append" is probably a precedence.
