Not UNINTERESTING? ;)
Not directly, no, but the performance numbers reported for the next
patch in
the series hinge on using sparse reachability. It seemed like a good
idea to
expose this knob through repack even if one isn't going to use the
--assume-pack-keep-transitive flag introduced in the next patch.

OK, I will drop this hunk.

I'm inclined to say yes, but am open to suggestions. :)

Can do.
