While recommending show-index to somebody today, I noticed that it has a
few ancient warts. This series turns it into a builtin and fixes the
documentation. I suspect it could do with some more modernization and
friendliness, like:
- re-using the existing packfile.c code instead of re-implementing
index-reading (though the packfile code would definitely need some
refactoring to make this work)
- it could probably handle arguments as files instead of requiring
stdin redirection
I'll leave those for now, as they're not worth the effort to me at this
point. But everybody who _doesn't_ use the command benefits from making
it a builtin, so it seems like an easy win.
