You may want to study output from "git help --all" to see if there is
anything *else* that is missing.  You did not say which version of git you
use, and how it was built and installed with which non-standard options
and in what way, so it is hard to guess what is going on.

Perhaps:

	$ cd ~root
        $ grep 'rm .*index-pack' .history .bash_history

could help locating the cause of breakage, but there are other ways to
break your installation, so...
