Somebody at $work found this problem:
$ git ls-files -s | wc
error: packfile .git/objects/pack/pack-1627e77da82bbb36118762649c8aa88c05664b1e.pack cannot be accessed
[..lots more similar errors..]
Turns out his shell's open file descriptor limit was 500. And
there are 1600 pack files in the repo.
Increasing the descriptor limit to 1024 fixed it. I could
probably get him to repack, which may also fix it.
Does it seem feasible to look for EMFILE errors and close
some packs? Or at least spit out a more intuitive error?
