Yeah, I agree they should agree with the EBNF. And my inclination is for
"packfile", as it is refering to the concept of the on-the-wire packfile
data (there is no "file ending in .pack" in this context).

Which I guess argues for a further patch.
I'm fine with that, then.

If I had a time machine, I would have used "pack data" (or "pack
stream") vs "pack file" (or ".pack file") to differentiatee (as the
pack-protocol is not about transferring any "file", but just carries
"pack data"), but that is a rename with more cost than warranted for
a minuscule gain at this point.
