  This was inspired by the data corruption thread started
  by J. Bruce Fields.  At some point in the thread Linus
  pointed out the C Git index-pack isn't as safe as it can
  be, and offered a strategy to fix it.

I thought it was Nicolas Pitre who offered that strategy?
Maybe I was mistaken.  ;-)

Sorry about the bad attribution.  Going back through the
archives does say it was you that had the brilliant idea.

Thanks.  Now my ego is fully restored.  ;-)
