Hi all, I observed (again) an annoying behavior of 'git repack': When the new pack file cannot be fully written because the disk gets full beforehand, the tmp_pack file isn't deleted, meaning the disk stays full:
$ df -h .; git repack -ad; df -h .; ls -lart .git/objects/pack/tmp*; rm .git/objects/pack/tmp*; df -h .
