This, in combination with patch 10/17, is making the test suite to test 
either packv4 or non packv4, and never both.  I think this is not a good 
approach.

Instead we should have packv2 specific tests to enforce --pack-version=2 
when using pack-objects and create a duplicate of those tests for 
--pack-version=4 when that makes sense.  For tests that are mostly 
common, the test could be factored out into a function with a pack 
version argument.  Then, most tests could be always run twice: once for 
packv2 and again for packv4.  Not doing so makes it more risky to 
regress packv2 when testing improvements to packv4 support.
