I like this series.  I haven't had time to test it myself yet,
and probably won't be able to do so before Junio merges it into a
pu or next release.  But it looks OK on a first read.

It is unfortunate that we are changing the index file format without
also bringing in packv4 support at the same time.  I have just been
too swamped in useless bulls**t in day-job work to spend time on
Git lately.
