By the way, originally I just wanted to index and save the pack, but
when trying to feed it to git-index-pack, I kept getting

	fatal: packfile '.git/objects/pack/pack-b2ab684daebea5b9c5a6492fa732e0d2e1799c8e.pack' has unresolved deltas

while feeding it to git-unpack-objects works fine. Any idea what's wrong?

(BTW, I got the id by sha1summing the pack file; is there an existing
way to name a pack properly if I have it lying around, unnamed? sha1sum
seems to be specific to a fairly new GNU coreutils version.)
