If I read correctly, this happens when we move the temp file to its
permanent position.

This looks like a race between deleting objects/05/ and creating
objects/05/cdb51bb0ea3e229734a4b1bddd5ec70fbc65ed.

I don't understand how this is possible, since the temporary file and
the final one are in the same directory, so deleting the directory
should fail.

What am I missing?
