on a tangent: I wrote this a long time ago, and it does no locking,
which probably leads to unpleasant surprises if it is run in parallel
with other ref updates. What would be a foolproof way to stop other
processes from stomping over the repo while the conversion is ongoing?
Maybe create a packed-refs.lock file?
