I'm having all sorts of strange issues, so maybe it's just my filesystem. FWIW, when I did try to follow that suggestion I got a very similar error. I'll close this soon if I decided that it really is just my filesystem.

@bernstei unfortunately we cannot replicate this issue. What happened when you followed this:

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status' and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'

From what I can tell the pack-4d226641dcff7c718a12db0e50551c0557cd0d85.pack is corrupted, you can try removing it and doing a git fetch & git fsck

OK, I had no idea it could lead to these sorts of git errors, but it appears to be a local filesystem issue. Sorry for the false alarm.
