Good warning, that.  And scary stuff.

builtin/repack.c shifts by 5, diffcore-delta.c by at most 17 IIUC, and
object-file.c by at most 31, which should all be safe.  Shifting by 32
or more would push the 1 off the right end, leaving only a surprising 0.
Phew!  Definitely worth fixing regardless.

That would be nice.  I'd also don't mind if Junio took the whole set
incl. the mergesort.c change instead.
