Future Work
-----------
-- The multi-pack-index allows many packfiles, especially in a context
- where repacking is expensive (such as a very large repo), or
- unexpected maintenance time is unacceptable (such as a high-demand
- build machine). However, the multi-pack-index needs to be rewritten
- in full every time. We can extend the format to be incremental, so
- writes are fast. By storing a small "tip" multi-pack-index that
- points to large "base" MIDX files, we can keep writes fast while
- still reducing the number of binary searches required for object
- lookups.

- If the multi-pack-index is extended to store a "stable object order"
(a function Order(hash) = integer that is constant for a given hash,
even as the multi-pack-index is updated) then MIDX bitmaps could be
