The basic idea, which comes from Shawn Pearce, is to run index-pack on a
packfile being verified, and compare the resulting .idx file with the
existing one, and make sure they match.

Do you have any timings, on say, the kernel repo?

Not yet; the code has just become in good enough shape to be built and
measured by anybody interested --- didn't I say WIP somewhere?
