Ok. Can do.

Good idea. This mixture of a file and variable sharing a name is a bit muddy for me, though. Using "before_name" as the variable would be enough of a differentiator.

'before' contains a .idx name and 'kept' contains a .keep name, so this direct comparison does not work. We could do that additional check like this:

	kept_name=$(cat kept) &&
	echo ${kept_name%.keep}.idx >kept-idx &&
	test_cmp before kept-idx &&

Thanks for taking the time to clean this up, as it might become a good example for these kinds of post-condition checks of the packs directory in the future.

Thanks, -Stolee
