This came from seeing `ODB` in a couple of tech docs (commit-graph and
parallel-checkout) and an 'odb' option in pack-redundant, which I should
have noted in the commit message.

I'll update the commit message to clarify that we are using that TLA,
though we aren't always consistent in our distinctions between concepts
and implementation in many places (e.g. Object Store vs Repository;
Staging area..; etc.)

TLAs, UNAs, etc. have been a bug-bear of mine from doing large
engineering collaborations.

ODB Object Data Base.
TLA Three Letter Abbreviation.
UNA Un-Named Abbreviation.
