Hm..  so it seems that git-unpack-objects is more intended to unpack a
pack one has gotten with git-fetch-pack, right?

Yeah. And for testing. I don't think it ever gets used directly.

I was looking for something more along the lines of an
"un-git-repack", where you have existing pack(s) and want to undo
them.  Maybe you want to repack everything into a single pack or
something like that.

That's what you just do "git repack -a -d" for.

But that doesn't roll exsisting packs into a new pack, does it?  I
thought it just packed loose objects into a new pack and deleted them.
 I ran that on a repo that already had a couple packs in it, and the
old packs were still there.
