cg-pull: objects pull failed

Ok. The immediate fix is to just unpack the pack:

	mv .git/objects/pack/* .git/
	for i in .git/*.pack; do git-unpack-objects < $i; done

(or similar - the above is untested, but I think it should be obvious 
enough what I'm trying to do).

If I try it again, it thinks things are up to date (since it mistakenly
updated the .git/refs/heads/linus), but then fails to apply (since it
doesn't have the objects it needs).

Ok, that's a worse bug, it really shouldn't update the head until _after_ 
the pull has succeeded.
