This series fixes two issues that Victoria and I noticed while working on an
unrelated issue yesterday.

  - The first patch comes from Victoria's earlier submission[1], and addresses
    an issue where packs specified as kept via the `--keep-pack` option could
    potentially be removed (without rewriting their objects) during a
    `--geometric` repack.

    The first patch is Victoria's alone, with some minor fixups applied from my
    review in [2]. It's included in this series since it's related, and avoids
    any conflicts when merging.
I'm happy with the fixes you applied here and don't have anything else I'd
like to add this patch.
  - The latter two patches are mine, and address an issue where specifying a
    `--max-pack-size` value during a `--geometric` repack could result in object
    loss because of a false positive in our "did we write a pack with this
    name?" check (which can occur when the list of packs we wrote isn't sorted).

    The first of these two patches demonstrates the issue (done in a separate
    patch, since the scenario is quite involved), and the second patch fixes the
    bug.
I was worried about the robustness of the test, but some deeper diving
revealed that it should produce consistent results. Otherwise, the fix
itself is a straightforward (albeit hard to find in the first place). These
two patches look good to me!
Thanks in advance for your review.
