This I have to think about a bit.

The most trivial example is doing a "git pull" of a small pack-file 
update.

We probably don't want to leave it around as a pack-file (we'll re-pack 
everything at some later date, but we also don't want to expand the stuff 
we already have in our _real_ pack-file).
