Comment:

 irl and I just talked this over and concluded that producing tarballs is
 the better design here. It solves the large files issue, and it might even
 fix data integrity/consistency issues that just haven't surfaced yet. I'm
 going to write a patch for the tarball idea some time in the next weeks.
 Thanks!
