Well, that answers that. The packfile is 0 bytes long. Why?
We downloaded the data and are trying to resolve deltas... but
when we go back into the packfile we thought we had, we find it is
nothing but an empty file. NFS strikes again!
Have you been able to clone onto this drive before? Maybe with a
different version of Git (1.4.x series, before this pread change
in index-pack)? Clearly this operation should be working, but
its not, and I'm certainly at a loss for why the file would just
magically truncate itself.
