Another thing I noticed was that it was in the middle of downloading the 
pack when it suddenly exitted due to not being able to find the object; it 
would probably be worth having a call to finish up the active transfers 
after giving up on completing the whole thing, since we probably do 
actually want to finish downloading a big pack if we've started.

I'm not sure how that could happen - once a pack download request
starts, it has to finish before any fetch() calls can fail.  However,
there could certainly be other object requests in process when one
fails, and it would be polite to let them finish.

Hmm; it definitely cut off a pack download in progress. When I ran it 
again, it resumed that download, which contained the missing object. Last 
night, I didn't see any problems, though. I'd certainly believe that 
server disagreement could be a factor, though.
