Hi,

this small patch series introduces logic to avoid rewriting the
multi-pack index in case it's up-to-date already. This is especially
relevant in the context of geometric repacking, where we may decide to
not write any new packfiles, but we'd still rewrite the multi-pack
index.

This is a follow-up for the discussion that happened at [1].

Thanks!

Patrick
