Empty temp files in the .git/objects subdirectories

I've noticed (sometimes) after using cg-update to pull from Linus's kernel tree, that I have multiple empty files named *.temp in the various subdirectories of .git/objects/.

These *.temp files don't exist in Linus's repository on kernel.org, so I am assuming they must be created locally at my end by either cogito or git (dunno which).

They cause no problems except for annoying warning messages, for example, while doing a git-fsck-*.

I'm using git and cogito(HEAD), both updated by using cg-update from their git repositories on kernel.org, so I'm current up to the very last minute :o)

Any suggestions how I can discover who is leaving behind all these spurious empty *.temp files?
