Yeah, I think so. The logic should really extend to anything without a
matching .pack. And I think the sane rule is probably:
If we have pack-$sha.$ext, but not pack-$sha.pack, then:
1. if $ext is known to us as a cache that can be regenerated from the
.pack (i.e., .idx, .bitmap), then delete it
2. if $ext is known to us as precious, do nothing (there is nothing
in this category right now, though)
3. if $ext is not known to us, warn but do not delete (in case a
future version adds something precious)
The conservatism in (3) is the right thing to do, I think, but I doubt
it will ever matter, because we probably cannot ever add non-cache
auxiliary files to the pack. Old versions of git would not delete such
precious files, but nor would they carry them forward during a repack.
So short of a repo-version bump, I think we are effectively limited to
adding only caches which can be re-generated from an original .pack.
