I think in the spirit of my "commit-graph {write,verify}: add progress output" it would be better to say:

    "Verifying multi-pack-index object offsets"

I.e. both to make it clearer what's actually going on (without much added verbosity), and also so that when the user turns on this feature it's clear what gc / fsck etc. are doing for that feature in particular, as with the commit-graph.
