[PATCH] discard revindex data when pack list changes

From: Nicolas Pitre <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

This is needed to fix verify-pack -v with multiple pack arguments.

Also, in theory, revindex data (if any) must be discarded whenever 
reprepare_packed_git() is called. In practice this is hard to trigger 
though.

if nobody comes up with a solution in the meantime...)

When running 'git verify-pack -v' on multiple packs (.idx files), it
fails for all packs, except the first, with exit code 128, and the
following single line:

	fatal: internal error: pack revindex fubar

This does not happen when given only a single pack, or when given
multiple packs, but without '-v' option.

To reproduce, simply do:

	git verify-pack -v .git/objects/pack/*.idx

in any repo with more than one pack file.

This happens with a fairly current 'next' (1.6.0.96.g2fad1). AFAICS,
it also happens in v1.6.0.
Bisection point to this commit:

This patch should fix it.  Lightly tested, but appears to work for me.

I'm leaving for the weekend now so hopefully I've got it right.
