My idea I got few days ago when looking at the borken repositories is
that it was caused by interrupted git-repack, since there were stale
tmp_pack* files left in the repository - it seems like it removed old
"redundant" packs even though the new one weren't properly completed.
But that is just a speculation, and I did not get around to look at the
script yet whether this could really happen, or if something like this
got fixed recently.
