I already sais that midx and mtimes may want to be all described in the main packfile format documentation, but I am OK to have separate pages for these auxiliary files that supplement the .pack/.idx pairs of files. If we were to go that route, we should have a link to cruft .mtimes page here, next to the link to midx page added here. I find the direction of the overall goal of the series agreeable. Thanks for working on the patches.
