The output looks good to me. Code looks sane overall, with one comment:

We're actually leaking some memory here, since stop_progress will also
free() the progress object and any associated resources. It's not a lot,
but it's kind of ugly.

Perhaps there should be a special version of stop_progress that handles
this better? Or perhaps we could even come up with a total object count
before starting.  I guess it would involve mapping each pack index
simultaneously, though by my reading of the code, I think we do that
anyway (the opened index is cached in the pack object).
