How can I pin down a pack file so that it is never repacked? (Windows doesn't like big files, they get fragmented heavily and are hard to read and defragment. So I try keep them relatively small). P.S. Experimenting with the .keep-files I had a crash in git-log, when the pack was renamed into .keep.pack, but the index was not. git-log complained about two objects it could not read and than crashed. It's cygwin.
