fatal: unable to rename temporary pack file: Invalid cross-device link
error: failed to run repack
Reason:
write_pack_file in builtin/pack-objects.c first writes tmp file in
"pack/tmp_pack_XXXXXX".
Then, it tries to rename it to "%s-%s.pack":
snprintf(tmpname, sizeof(tmpname), "%s-%s.pack",
base_name, sha1_to_hex(sha1));
...
if (rename(pack_tmp_name, tmpname))
die_errno("unable to rename temporary pack
file");
and happily fails because that crosses device boundary. Same problem with
index file. Suggested fix: do those renames inside pack directory or avoid
them at all.
