Ah, should have thought of this sooner.  There doesn't seem to be
corruption involved after all.

Use git from the "master" branch to consolidate pack files:

	~/src/git/bin-wrappers/git repack -a -d

Details are in f2e872aa5 (Work around EMFILE when there are too many
pack files, 2010-11-01), which will likely be part of git 1.7.4.
Thanks for reporting and sorry for the trouble.
