Alternatively, have you considered doing a .tar.gz of every build snapshot, and placing that on a server somewhere?
e.g. a folder full of 36def4af0ca85a1d0e66b5207056775bcb3b09ff.tar.gz files?
tar.xz would compress better
tar.lzma?
Having tars of all builds would be way larger I guess. GIT compresses and shares objects that are the same.

You're talking about using a git tree just to store binaries for each committed patch, I suppose? But then you would have to download the whole repository (which can be quite big) to get compression benefits, right?
