I do not think anybody uses it these days. Instead either they clone with reference (or -s), or perhaps use new-workdir.
Here is a totally untested fix.
The "careful" part can be made much more clever and efficient by learning implementation details about the .idx file (it has the checksum for itself and the checksum for its .pack file at the end) but I did not bother.
I do not think this in its current shape is committable, without improvements and success reports from the list. Hint, hint...
