Corrupt pack file using older versions of git on a newer repo..

This is probably expected behavior, but when bisecting another Git
issue[1], i found that after a fresh clone of the git repository using
1.4.4.2 I got the following corrupt pack file when accessing that repo
with an old version of git:

$ git --version
git version 1.4.2

$ git log
fatal: corrupted pack file .git/objects/pack/pack-d75f6a8307f8d8ce9727fe27107486839c54aef6.pack

When reverting to 1.4.3 instead, a git reset triggered the corrupt pack
error.  Anyway, just a heads up in case it actually matters.

[1]  The "Git" issue turned out not to be Git at all but rather the
Beagle search daemon which seems to touch file stat information as
it scans files in a git repo causing strange git status and diff
