1. tmp_obj_* gets created in objects/05/ by "git unpack-objects";
2. prune_cruft() comes, notices tmp_obj_* that is sufficiently old,
decides to remove in "git prune".
3. prune_subdir() comes, notices objects/05/ is now empty, does
rmdir().
4. "git unpack-objects" closes the file whose inode was originally
associated with the path objects/05/tmp_obj_*;
5. "git unpack-objects" calls finalize_object_file() and tries to
link(2) or rename(2) it to its final name. It does not find the
source of the link or rename and says "oops, no such file".
