I suppose git-repack does something like write_new_data(); sync(); delete_old_data(); And if you remove the "sync" and your system crashes (or you eject your USB key, or ...) while "delete_old_data" is done, but "write_new_data" hasn't been sync-ed to the hard disk, you're in trouble. If you repack many repositories, I guess the first time is expansive, but the next ones pay only for what they just did.
