I was going to say the exact same thing. Even if we were checking many objects, can't we dump the output of show-index to a file, and then grep it repeatedly? Presumably these tests are working on repositories with tens of objects, so I doubt it matters much either way. If we do end up taking this approach to use the test-helper instead, the implementation seems reasonable. Thanks, Taylor
