Sure.  Although, it would be nice to add a todo inside the pack  
method, which wants to be refactored, to take the possibility of  
extra files for uncommitted transactions into account.  The current  
wildly inefficient blob pack algorithm would not have a problem, but  
likely refactorings would.
