Ah, yeah, this is a good example of what I was talking about in the
other part of the thread. Probably this function could just take the
object_source pointer to find the midx. But then it wouldn't be able to
use clear_midx_file(). That function arguably should itself take an
object_source pointer and not a repo pointer, but it feels like minimal
gain to go around trying to tighten these (and certainly something we
could easily do later, even programatically, if we cared).
