Thanks, this version looks correct to me.

I do think there are a few ugly bits in the result (like that
initializer for packed_git_mru :) ), so I'd prefer not to merge this
down until we do that final step.

So the big question is: who wants to do it?

I think you've done a good job here, and this would count for your
Outreachy application's contribution. But if you'd like to do that next
step, you are welcome to.

We could also consider it a #leftoverbits that perhaps some other
Outreachy candidate would pick up[1].

In the meantime, Junio, I think we'd want to queue this with the intent
to graduate it to "pu" or possibly "next", but not "master". Then if
somebody (Olga or another applicant) produces the endgame patch, we can
queue it on top and move it further. And if nobody does, I can pick it
after the application period is over.
