... and, even if different seeds produce different pack index files,
or even if the same seed produces a different pack index file, it
doesn't matter because the objects will still be there, can still be
shared, can still be used to reconstruct the commit.
so even if you end up asking for and sharing different objects
because you're using a different index file, it really really doesn't
matter: all roads lead to rome.
you might end up not _having_ some particular objects (due to git gc)
but that's ok: just re-request the index file again (and go through
the process of evaluating / comparing the index fan-objects again
*sigh* you can't have everything).
