I haven't looked your patch very closely, but two successive "git-repack -a -d" would produce the packfile under the same name, but with different parameters (--window or --depth), the old .idx and new .pack may not match. Can this be possible (time flows from top to bottom): git-repack -a -d somebody else produces a new .pack/.idx mv new .pack to objects/pack mmap .idx (old) finds .pack does not match mv new .idx to objects/pack Is this something we care about? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
