Hi.

I see this patch has made it into git now, and it fixes the problem
described above. Thanks!

However, I'm still seeing the problem where 'git prune' leaves the
repo in an invalid state. In the case above, running 'git prune' on a
freshly checked-out repo works without problems; when the repo has a
number of unpacked objects, however, things go bad. On the FC4 machine
I have, I updated my git repo, rebuilt, and installed the build with
the patch above, then updated my cairo repo. The 'git pull' retrieved
a handful of objects, and 'git fsck-objects' ran without problem.
Then 'git prune' was run, seemingly without problem, and when I tried
'git repack -a -d' things went boom. A subsequent 'git fsck-object'
run indicated the repo was missing tree and commit objects.

Is anyone else seeing a similar problem with 'git prune'?
