Sure, I don't mind getting more strict here in this series. If you want,
the below could be queued instead of the original 11/27:

Subject: [PATCH] midx: avoid opening multiple MIDXs when writing
Opening multiple instance of the same MIDX can lead to problems like two
separate packed_git structures which represent the same pack being added
to the repository's object store.
The above scenario can happen because prepare_midx_pack() checks if
`m->packs[pack_int_id]` is NULL in order to determine if a pack has been
opened and installed in the repository before. But a caller can
construct two copies of the same MIDX by calling get_multi_pack_index()
and load_multi_pack_index() since the former manipulates the
object store directly but the latter is a lower-level routine which
allocates a new MIDX for each call.
So if prepare_midx_pack() is called on multiple MIDXs with the same
pack_int_id, then that pack will be installed twice in the object
store's packed_git pointer.
This can lead to problems in, for e.g., the pack-bitmap code, which does
something like the following (in pack-bitmap.c:open_pack_bitmap()):
struct bitmap_index *bitmap_git = ...;
for (p = get_all_packs(r); p; p = p->next) {
if (open_pack_bitmap_1(bitmap_git, p) == 0)
ret = 0;
}
which is a problem if two copies of the same pack exist in the
packed_git list because pack-bitmap.c:open_pack_bitmap_1() contains a
conditional like the following:
if (bitmap_git->pack || bitmap_git->midx) {
/* ignore extra bitmap file; we can only handle one */
warning("ignoring extra bitmap file: %s", packfile->pack_name);
close(fd);
return -1;
}
Avoid this scenario by not letting write_midx_internal() open a MIDX
that isn't also pointed at by the object store. So long as this is the
case, other routines should prefer to open MIDXs with
get_multi_pack_index() or reprepare_packed_git() instead of creating
instances on their own. Because get_multi_pack_index() returns
`r->object_store->multi_pack_index` if it is non-NULL, we'll only have
one instance of a MIDX open at one time, avoiding these problems.
To encourage this, drop the `struct multi_pack_index *` parameter from
`write_midx_internal()`, and rely instead on the `object_dir` to find
(or initialize) the correct MIDX instance.
Likewise, replace the call to `close_midx()` with
`close_object_store()`, since we're about to replace the MIDX with a new
one and should invalidate the object store's memory of any MIDX that
might have existed beforehand.
Note that this now forbids passing object directories that don't belong
to alternate repositories over `--object-dir`, since before we would
have happily opened a MIDX in any directory, but now restrict ourselves
to only those reachable by `r->objects->multi_pack_index` (and alternate
MIDXs that we can see by walking the `next` pointer).
As far as I can tell, supporting arbitrary directories with
`--object-dir` was a historical accident, since even the documentation
says `<alt>` when referring to the value passed to this option.
