I'm keen to talk about the new protocol and other scaling issues I
raised in the recent "Git Scaling: What factors most affect Git
performance for a large repo?" thread. Although from my testing the
main problems in performance are the local pack-refs file &
reachability checks, mostly not the protocol itself.

At the risk of using this list + the venue for soliciting I also want
to mention that my employer is willing to pay someone on a contract
basis to work on Git scalability issues, given the right person etc.
etc. So if someone's at the conference is interested in that I'd be
keen to talk to you.
