Great comment, thank you. But I think the infohash should actually be shared, packfiles are pretty deterministic in practice. So you'd be getting the diff packfile from the person who just made it, and anyone else who already did.

(If I find packfile generation to not be deterministic enough, I think I'll switch to using a custom packfile generation that is always deterministic.)
