Hmm, maybe too flat.  jffs2 and ext2 directories don't actually scale
well when they contain thousands of files.  The git objects directory
uses the first two characters of the filename as a subdirectory name.

How is the cache garbage collected?  Or does it grow w/o bound?

Not an easy problem.  The real solution is probably end-to-end from
mail server to user.
