Re: [PATCH 04/24] midx: factor out `fill_pack_info()`

> When selecting which packfiles will be written while generating a MIDX,
> the MIDX internals fill out a 'struct pack_info' with various pieces of
> book-keeping.
> 
> Instead of filling out each field of the `pack_info` structure
> individually in each of the two spots that modify the array of such
> structures (`ctx->info`), extract a common routine that does this for
> us.

> This reduces the code duplication by a modest amount. But more
> importantly, it zero-initializes the structure before assigning values
> into it. This hardens us for a future change which will add additional
> fields to this structure which (until this patch) was not
> zero-initialized.
> 
> As a result, any new fields added to the `pack_info` structure need only
> be updated in a single location, instead of at each spot within midx.c.
> 
> There are no functional changes in this patch.
