My repository git.git and Linus's kernel are not "normal".  It did
not matter so far to have O(n*m) when pushing to our histories.

The case that matters is for somebody to be pushing one (or a few)
refs against a repository with many many refs, like pushing a review
request to Gerrit instance, which I think Martin has in mind.
