This part makes me suspect you are not even using the .keep
properly.  In addition to pack-[0-9a-f]{40}.(pack|idx), you
would have a corresponding pack-[0-9a-f]{40}.keep file (whose
contents does not matter) to mark that these should not get
repacked.

This is it (described in git-index-pack.txt, maybe git-repack.txt should
reference it too), thanks.

Still, git-log shouldn't crash (nothing should, of course).
And, the temporary pack is created in working tree, instead of in GIT_DIR
(why not GIT_OBJECT_DIR, btw?)
