e2fsck has a test somewhere which randomly corrupts a partition and then lets the program fix it. All kind of corruptions happen, we will have to deal with them. Especially if this crash is so simple to reproduce.
case of temporary pack I do not think there would be a risk of filename collisions, I think it makes sense to use either GIT_DIR or GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY instead of the working tree. I do not know pros-and-cons between .git/ and .git/objects/;
These are settable separately, so theoretically you can end up with .git and .git/objects being on different filesystems. Atomic rename wont be possible than. - 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
