Hm..  so it seems that git-unpack-objects is more intended to unpack a
pack one has gotten with git-fetch-pack, right?

I was looking for something more along the lines of an
"un-git-repack", where you have existing pack(s) and want to undo
them.  Maybe you want to repack everything into a single pack or
something like that.
