> Naively when you read a git diff or a pull request, you might think like me, that git is storing a diff between A and B and just displays it when needed. But in reality it stores the full file in the object storage.

I thought logically git stored every file, but implementation-wise, it does git-object compaction. So in reality, it's not actually storing every file on disk, no?
