I'm not sure if it's a good idea to create a separate struct
repository just because you want to free this parsed object store.
What if updates are made in both repositories? All the cache (well,
mostly the delta base cache in sha1_file.c) will double memory usage
as well. Yeah not ideal. But I guess making rev-list related code use
a separate parsed object store is no small task (and kinda risky as
well since we migrate from global lookup_* functions to local ones and
need to choose the correct parsed object store to look up from)

For your information, there is already a good use case for this
wholesale memory free: if we can free the rev-list related memory
early in pack-objects (e.g. part of repack operation) then it could
lower memory pressure significantly when running on large repos. This
has been discussed a bit lately.
