I seem to have problems with this change (on Cygwin). Sometimes
accessing an object in a pack fails in unpack_compressed_entry.
When it happens, both avail_in and avail_out of the stream are 0,
and the reported status is Z_BUF_ERROR.
Output with the second attached patch:

error: *** inflate error: 0x862380 size=1256, avail_in=0 (was 697),
avail_out=0 (was 1256)
error: *** unpack_compressed_entry failed

I have this problem on some repository on Cygwin too. For now I have  
reverted to Git 1.6.4 which seems to be working fine.

It was fixed in 1.6.5.2 by Junio.
