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.
