5 * A revindex allows converting efficiently between three properties
6 * of an object within a pack:
7 *
8 * - index position: the numeric position within the list of sorted object ids
9 * found in the .idx file
10 *
11 * - pack position: the numeric position within the list of objects in their
12 * order within the actual .pack file (i.e., 0 is the first object in the
13 * .pack, 1 is the second, and so on)
14 *
15 * - offset: the byte offset within the .pack file at which the object contents
16 * can be found
