This is evil on the bandwidth, since you'll keep refetching the packed
object (64MB of it) over and over.

However, I've tried the above, and I get:

$ mv .git/objects/pack/* .git/
$ for i in .git/*.pack; do git-unpack-objects < $i; done
Unpacking 55435 objects
fatal: inflate returned -3

so it seems that the pack is corrupt... or something.

$ md5sum .git/*.pack
2be38f2947b99bcd088c1930122aadec  .git/pack-e3117bbaf6a59cb53c3f6f0d9b17b9433f0e4135.pack

and git-fsck-cache produces lots and lots of:
