Determined experimentally that the answer is: yes. The increase in ref advertisement is roughly linear with the size of your packed-refs, so for most people this wasn't a big deal (and even if you have insanely large packed-refs, it's "only" 2-3x the RAM; potentially a problem, but only if you're close to the tipping point already). -Peff
