The function `get_sorted_entries()` is broadly responsible for building an array of the objects to be written into a MIDX based on the provided list of packs. If we have loaded an existing MIDX, however, we may not use all of its packs, despite loading them into the ctx->info array. The existing implementation simply skips past the first ctx->m->num_packs (if ctx->m is non-NULL, indicating that we loaded an existing MIDX). Future changes (outside the scope of this patch series) to the MIDX code will require us to skip *at most* that number[^1]. We could tag each pack with a bit that indicates the pack's contents should be included in the MIDX. But we can just as easily determine the number of packs to skip by passing in the number of packs we learned about after processing an existing MIDX. [^1]: Kind of. The real number will be bounded by the number of packs in a MIDX layer, and the number of packs in its base layer(s), but that concept hasn't been fully defined yet.
