This series is a unification of [1] and [2] which together prevent a handful of
races when code that writes packfiles moves the `.idx` into place before all
other auxiliary files are properly renamed.
This can lead to races like not reading the `.rev` file even if one was
generated and is about to be moved into place.
Credit goes to Ævar for preparing what is more-or-less sent here. I polished a
few of the commit messages, and added the second patch on top of his result. It
isn't necessary, but felt like good hygiene when I was reading the surrounding
code.
Thanks in advance for reviewing.
