Fair enough.

As we've lived without trouble long enough creating the new pack
tempfile in $GIT_DIR, I do not think it is urgent; but feel free
to propose moving it to GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY.  We _might_ need
to teach fsck to take notice of such leftover temporary files
from an earlier, aborted run if we do this -- I haven't looked.
