    unpack-objects desperately salvages objects from a corrupt pack · f986f2c8

    The command unpack-objects dies upon the first error.  This is
    probably considered a feature -- if a pack is corrupt, instead
    of trying to extract from it and possibly risking to contaminate
    a good repository with objects whose validity is dubious, we
    should seek a good copy of the pack and retry.  However, we may
    not have any good copy anywhere.  This implements the last
    resort effort to extract what are salvageable from such a
    corrupt pack.
    
    This flag might have helped Sergio when recovering from a
    corrupt pack.  In my test, it managed to salvage 247 objects out
    of a pack that had 251 objects but without it the command
    stopped after extracting 73 objects.
