Doesn’t mean those deflate trees are optimal, as you can see with tools like OxiPNG optimizing the deflate compression to reduce png file sizes by about half.
The same optimization could be applied to git blobs in theory, it would be cool if there was a tool that did that.

My second point was more about if git was upgraded to add a new compression algorithm like zstd instead of Deflate, like switching the hash algorithm from SHA-1 to SHA-2 (though if I was in charge, I’d go with Blake3 because it’s far faster)
