Can you use gdb to find it?  If so, walk up the stack into
fast-import.c's load_tree() function and look at sha1 here,
and also, *myoe.

fast-import keeps all of its object data in a single table of
"struct object_entry", the table is keyed by SHA-1.  Each entry
has a pack_id, which tells it which pack this object is in, and
the offset of the object within that pack.

Sounds like maybe its confusing the pack pointer in the all_packs
array (see gfi_unpack_entry).

Not really.  You'd have to write code for this.  Or, since the pack
closes and you can index it, use "verify-pack -v" to find the object
starting at the offset you know its having trouble with, that should
tell you the object's SHA-1.
