You really _mustn't_ try to create the pack directly to the
$GIT_DIR/objects/pack subdirectory - that would make git itself start
possibly using that pack before the index is all done, and that would be
just wrong and nasty.
So you really should _always_ generate the pack somewhere else, and then
move it (pack file first, index file second).
Which is, btw, exactly what "git repack" does, so the solution to the
problem is to just never use git-pack-objects directly if you don't like
the semantics..
