Well, there are two cases I can see here. With a smart server, you'd be
asking for the file ids, not the disk names, so - no problem. Without a
smart server, you would have to issue at most 2 requests:
one for the 50
one for those of the 50 that the first did not find.

I'm curious what mechanism you are using to [efficiently] probe for 50
objects remotely though.

Well, I've been turning on compression for revisions in my baz2bzr
branches, because I have a lot of revisions.
