A _long_ while ago someone posted a storage that kept objects in files
named after the oid, all in one big directory. It was designed to
exploit the capabilities of modern filesystems like reiserfs and NTFS.

I remember not being 100% confident in its implementation, but you
might want to give it a look.

TmpStorage doesnt support undo, but that does mean it cant still hog
disk space for old object revisions
