keep_name is used to print error messages a couple lines down. Reset it to the real path returned by odb_pack_keep() if it's set to NULL by caller.

 One of these moments I will make git log and friends optionally recognize
 "Diff-Options:" line in commit message. Adding -U14 in this case
 should help the reviewer to see how those error messages are printed.

I think this fixes the right problem in a wrong way that hurts longer-term maintainability. Why not do

	keep_name ? keep_name : name

at the place where the name is used? Otherwise you will have to worry about affecting later codepaths that may want to try to use !keep_name to switch between two codepaths, no?

[PATCH v2] index-pack: do not segfault when keep_name is NULL

Use the name that is returned by odb_pack_keep() when the caller passes NULL in keep_name.
