However the more I think about it your original idea of using
.tmp-pack directly in .git/objects/pack/ *should* have worked
(modulo two repack instances using the same name, which is fixed
by $$ there).  Not insisting on "pack-" prefix I consider is a
feature, but I do not see a reason to take a file that begin
with a dot.

Well, probably too late to deprecate, maybe not.  I dunno.
