Thanks - this was quite straightforwardly written.

If we already loaded the m, we can just pass it in - OK.

This takes into account that packfiles can shift while we run this command, I see. Other than that, this is a common pattern - how we iterate through 2 sorted arrays, one a subsequence of each other.

And indeed packs_to_drop is a sorted list, because we use string_list_insert() below.

...and here and elsewhere, we have to contend with the fact that packs.info has pack_info that we don't want to write. I think it would be slightly better to filter out the expired ones from packs.info, and then when generating pack_perm, first memset it to 0xff. This way, we wouldn't have to check expiry everywhere. But I don't feel too strongly about this.

This is as I expected - unlink all the files we don't want, and even though much of the midx hasn't changed, we still need to write it because it has a new list of packfiles.

Maybe add a fsck at the end for sanity's sake. Also, I think that preservation of .keep packfiles is an important feature, and maybe worth a test.
