designed to be unpackable without having anything else, but for
random access, accompanied with the pack index file (.idx).
designed to be self contained so that it can be unpacked without
any further information, but for fast, random access to the objects
in the pack, a pack index file (.idx) will be generated.

Placing both in the pack/ subdirectory of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY (or
any of the directories on $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES)
