Side note: the cross-directory avoidance for loose object creation _did_ 
seem to clear up the original problems reported on NFS, so yes, this is 
worth doing. Even if pack-file creation is such a heavy event that I 
suspect that none of the timing/caching/whatever issues that were present 
for loose objects really ever trigger in practice.
