how does it handle incremental changes? If it’s writing your entire repo on a loop, I could see why AWS would promote it.

Looks like it uses bundles, which handle incremental changes: https://github.com/awslabs/git-remote-s3?tab=readme-ov-file#...

This invocation won't create an incremental bundle, though:

    git bundle create <sha>.bundle <ref>
https://github.com/awslabs/git-remote-s3/blob/221bde4ea34226...

Needs ^<ref> to leave out things.
