I was playing around with git repack and decided to "undo" the repack
I did using git-unpack objects.  Below is the output:

.git/objects/pack/pack-497d1e639572013de48eeb00cb95738d2ca959e1.pack
Unpacking 236950 objects

As you can see, the objects don't seem to get unpacked back into the
.git directory.  So either I am misunderstanding what that command is
supposed to do, or it isn't working properly.

Any ideas?

unpack tries to unpack and if it already has the object it
skips.

If you really wanted to do it, here is a way to do so.

	mv .git/objets/pack/pack-49*.pack \
		.git/objets/pack/pack-49*.idx .
	git unpack-objects <pack-49*.pack
