In the "next" branch, write_index_ext_header() writes garbage on a 64-bit big-endian machine; the written index file will be unreadable. I noticed this on NetBSD/sparc64. Reproducible with:
$ git init-db $ :>file $ git-update-index --add file $ git-write-tree $ git-update-index error: index uses extension, which we do not understand fatal: index file corrupt
