OK, I think that makes more sense. But note the p->num_objects thing I
mentioned. If I do:

   git pack-objects .git/objects/pack/pack </dev/null

then I have a pack with zero objects, which I think we'd similarly want
to return early from. I.e., I think we need:

   if (p->num_objects)
        return;

Technically that also covers open_pack_index() failure, too, but that's
a subtlety I don't think we should rely on.
True.  I notice that the early part of the two functions look almost
identical.  Do we need error condition handling for the other one,
too?

I prefer to fix the problem in all code clones when they cause review friction, so I'll send a fifth commit showing just the diff for these packfile issues in sha1_name.c. See patch below.

Should open_pack_index() return a non-zero status if the packfile is empty? Or, is there a meaningful reason to have empty packfiles?

Thanks,
