Re: [PATCH] pack-redundant: fix crash when one packfile in repo

Command `git pack-redundant --all` will crash if there is only one

packfile in local_packs, `cmp_local_packs` will do nothing and will
leave `pl->unique_objects` as uninitialized.

Thanks, that makes sense. And I'm glad I waited to get the opinion of
somebody much more clueful. Mine was a band-aid, but yours is hitting
the root cause and will help any other downstream code that assumes
unique_objects isn't NULL.

The new test coverage makes sense, I think, though as Junio noted, it
should be done independent of the $git_pack_redundant change (which will
also make the diff a lot easier to review).
