However the more I think about it your original idea of using .tmp-pack directly in .git/objects/pack/ *should* have worked (modulo two repack instances using the same name, which is fixed by $$ there). Not insisting on "pack-" prefix I consider is a feature, but I do not see a reason to take a file that begin with a dot. Well, probably too late to deprecate, maybe not.
