"Huge" is a bit inaccurate, please provide numbers. (See ML history).

Can you give a usecase where this is the case?
Can you give statistics on how much we loose?

Its good to have a voice of reason saying something is not perfect. I think 
to follow up we should
a) get an overview of the actual damage so we can decide if we want to
do more work which leads to
b) someone should do the work of splitting and of fixing a tool like 'repo' 
to be useful for us.

point [b] is not trivial, but if you care for this issue you might want to 
start now so we get a long way in the short time we have before the real 
conversion.
