Hmm. What is in these index files if not the three randomly generated objects? Can you run show-index instead and share the results of that on the pack(s) in your repository after the first repack, and share the results with the list? I think those would be more readable than a hexdump, especially if your machine random source is different than mine (in which case I can't guess the values of $foo, $bar, and $baz). Thanks, Taylor
