But I would be quite surprised if that were the case, since `repack` is *very* careful to only delete packs which it knew about at the start of the repack. Likewise, when it cleans up loose objects, it only unlinks objects which can be found in some (non-deleted) pack that will remain in the repository. So I doubt that repack is doing something weird here, though it would be extremely interseting if you were able to pause the `repack` process at a specific point, push new objects into the repository, and reliably demonstrate the corruption.
