pack. Use an index isntead since the number of packs should be

s/isntead/instead/

This limits the number of packs we can handle to 256 (still
unreasonably high for a repo to work well). If you have more than 256
packs, you'll need an older version of Git to repack first.

So if you have gc.autoPackLimit=300 this will break, how does it break?

Should we also make (& document) setting that variable higher than 256
an error?
