The previous change introduced the bundle URI design document. It
creates a flexible set of options that allow bundle providers many ways
to organize Git object data and speed up clones and fetches. It is
particularly important that we have flexibility so we can apply future
advancements as new ideas for efficiently organizing Git data are
discovered.
However, the design document does not provide even an example of how
bundles could be organized, and that makes it difficult to envision how
the feature should work at the end of the implementation plan.
Add a section that details how a bundle provider could work, including
using the Git server advertisement for multiple geo-distributed servers.
This organization is based on the GVFS Cache Servers which have
successfully used similar ideas to provide fast object access and
reduced server load for very large repositories.

Introduce the idea of bundle URIs to the Git codebase through an
aspirational design document. This document includes the full design
intended to include the feature in its fully-implemented form. This will
take several steps as detailed in the Implementation Plan section.
By committing this document now, it can be used to motivate changes
necessary to reach these final goals. The design can still be altered as
new information is discovered.
