What's your git version? Since 8b4eb6b (Do not perform
cross-directory renames when creating packs, 2008-09-22), which was
first released in 1.6.0.3 and 1.6.1, it should only create and rename
files within the pack/ subdirectory. Which is what you are implying
in the above snippet, but this should never result in a cross-device
rename, so maybe I'm missing something.
