As a workaround until Cogito gets updated, would it help to have the environment variable GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES pointing at the untouched copy of Linus tree's .git/objects/ directory? All your other trees would find the objects in your copied-Linus tree (including packed one) available to them already and hopefully pull breakage does not even have to touch those objects.
