I thought people _might_ have used it for satistics purposes, but it
appears that the command doesn't even give in-pack size of objects nor
delta chain length, so probably anybody doing pack statistics would be
using "verify-pack -v" and wouldn't mind if it became test-show-index.

Yeah, I think that is a sensible long term plan, too.
