v1 or v2? Some of the reasoning for v2 was here:
https://public-inbox.org/meta/20180209205140.GA11047@dcvr/
v1 was similar to what git did with loose objects and prevented
dupes based on Message-ID. That worked well enough for small
non-mirror lists and wasn't designed with search (Xapian) in mind.
As for git itself: reliability, ease-of-replication, storage
efficiency.
