This "pack" comes from pack-index when providing the name of the pack.
It is either "pack" or "keep" and specifies the name of the .keep file 
to remove in the later case.
This is caught by git-fetch.sh with some code identified with a comment 
that reads: "# special line coming from index-pack with the pack name"

You must have conflicting vintage of GIT installations on your machine 
with missing support for the "pack" and "keep" stuff described above.
