By that you mean you cannot/don't want to use repack -f, right?

There _could_ be a way to hack pack-objects so not to reuse bad objects.  
However I don't want that to impact the code too much for an 
event that hopefully should almost never happens, especially if using -f 
does work around it already.

Well, let's see.

OK, here's what the patch to allow repacking without -f and still using 
redundant objects in presence of pack corruption might look like.  
Please tell me if that works for you.
