There's no need to extract the pack; Git and Dulwich can read objects straight
from a pack file.
You still need to create refs in the local repository; this can be done by
setting an entry in git.refs:
git.refs['refs/heads/master'] = commit_id
Where commit_id is the (hex?) id of the remote master. This updates the branch
ref directly on disk.
There might be a way to do all of this automatically; hopefully somebody more
knowledgeable than me will chime in :)
