I'm glad that your patch makes it impossible to generate a zero-object
multi-pack-index, and that makes a test hard to implement. I'm not sure
what history Git has for storing explicit binary content into the test
suite. There really is only one "empty" multi-pack-index, but it is
unfortunately still a bit big for a test case to write explicitly due
to the 256-word fanout table.

I _think_ the t/tXXXX directories are used for this kind of data storage,
so you could generate an empty multi-pack-index from an older version of
Git then store it there. Please wait for someone else on-list to say that
this is a good idea, though. It may not be worth the pain of a binary file
in the patch.

nit: I would use "pack-files" here. Second best is "packfiles".

Should this "Warning: " be here? The other calls to midx_report() do not have such prefix.

It could be valuable to add "warning: %s\n" to the fprintf inside midx_report(), but that should be done as its own patch.

Also, it may be valuable to return from this block so you do not need to put the block below in a tabbed block, reducing the complexity of this patch.

Thanks for digging into this!
