Good to hear that you two did not lose any data. I think the
command should be documented as "not for interactive use without
understanding what it does" ;-).
What was the reason you wanted to use it? I think we should
have a wrapper command to do what you wanted to achieve, so that
people do not have to run unpack-objects by hand.
One thing I _could_ think of is to explode a contaminated pack
so that you can repack. For example, every time I do "git
repack -a -d", the resulting pack ends up containing a couple of
commits from my "pu" branch that will become dangling when I
redo "pu" the next time. But then "git repack -a -d" is so
inexpensive these days, without unpacking things first, I do not
see the point of exploding a pack using unpack-objects in the
first place.
