Of course.  Once they've generalized their infrastructure to handle
two different VCSes, then next number after two is "many".

This really is not a solution.  In "Original git" (before packs),
every version of every object was a separate compressed file, and you
could check which objects you had, subtract from those needed, and
typically fetch a very small number of small objects to update your
local clone.  But with packs, every object touched will drag in a
whole pack, and AFAIK there's no good way to guarantee good locality
(ie, if you limit pack size to say 10MB, and you have a change that
touches both foo.h and foo.c, you'll probably end up downloading two
packs).

You really want a repo-aware server on the other side to limit
bandwidth.
