Since you are transporting a packfile by sneakernet it might
be reasonable to assume this transfer happens infrequently.
Consequently we might assume its object count exceeds
transfer.unpackLimit, which means a standard fetch or push would
have kept the packfile rather than unpacking it to loose objects.

So maybe use git-index-pack here to index the packfile and
retain it as-is, rather than unpacking it?
