The paragraph seems to only describe 2 orderings - object's position
within the MIDX and object's position within the pseudo-pack. (Is the
third one the offset within the MIDX - which is, I believe, trivially
computable from the position within the MIDX?)

Also, which are stored in the .rev file?

The previous patches look good to me, and I'll review the remaining
patches hopefully tomorrow.
