You would end up with pretty huge latency for a lot of common operations in that case. Every checkout, diff, and status for example.

That depends on how replicated/distributed the object storage is. In a DHT scenario, you might already be storing some of the objects yourself before you've even requested them.
The remote server can obviously be running an object-storage node itself, and so can your own local git repo -- the point is that you can have objects in more places than just your machine and the repo it's pulling from.
