But you know what? repositories with the change affecting 1.4.4 users 
are _already_ out there and no one complained recently.  Anyone pushing 

	I did, as did people I work with.  It's on git-list, even.  I'm
pretty sure it corrupted too.

Could you please give me a reference to such message, so to verify that 
we're actually talking about the same thing?

	The relevant message is:

Message-ID: [off-list ref]

See the paragraphs at the bottom.  The thread, started by me, begins
with:

OK.  From those emails Junio forwarded to me, I don't see any case for 
actual _corruptions_.  Git does indeed refuse to work with unknown pack 
index or unknown objects in a pack.  Really old versions were not overly 
clueful as to why they refused to work, but they should never corrupt a 
pack which, for all purposes, is always read-only anyway.
