This should probably be "new pack" and not "old packs", I guess. Not
knowing much about how this actually works, I'm assuming the scenario
here is something like:
(1) git receive-pack receives a pack P.pack and writes it to disk
(2) git index-pack runs on P.pack
(3) git repack runs separately, finds pack P.pack with no refs pointing
to it, and deletes it
(4) everything goes wrong
With a keep file, this would be averted because
(1) git receive-pack receives a pack P.pack and writes it to disk
(2) git index-pack writes a keep file for P.pack, called P.keep
(3) git repack runs separately, finds pack P.pack with a keep file,
doesn't touch it
(4) git index-pack finishes, and something updates refs to point to
P.pack and deletes P.keep
