cg-update from a local repo that contains packs is broken though :-(

Is this with cg-0.12? The most recent release should be happy with packs.

Ahh, I see it. It's because it uses "git-local-pull", and yes, 
git-local-pull does the old filename assumption. Right?

Ho humm.. That's a bug in local-pull.c, although I'm not sure how to fix
it best. One option is to just not use it (as in "use git-fetch-pack
instead"), and another is to use GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES and just
pick up the files that way. Yet another one is to actually copy over (or
link) the pack-file, but that's likely the least preferable one.

The _simplest_ fix is to use git-fetch-pack. It doesn't give you the 
convenient hard-linking, though.
