The storage of directories in FSFS has not changed recently, I expect you'll see the same issue in 1.7. It seems what you'd like to do is rewrite your history such that directory sizes (max # of siblings) is small. That sounds doable. I'm not sure offhand whether the BDB backend has the same issue with storing large directories.
