[PATCH] Split packs from git-repack should have descending timestamps

[Dana How <danahow@gmail.com>]

If git-repack produces multiple split packs because
--max-pack-size was in effect,  the first pack written
should have the latest timestamp because:
(1) sha1_file.c:rearrange_packed_git() puts more recent
    pack files at the beginning of the search list;  and
(2) the most recent objects are written out first
    while packing.

This is based on next rather than master to avoid merge
conflicts with changes already in git-repack.sh due to
the --max-pack-size patchset.
