Sorry, I didn't get as far as testing the diff, since the comparison
run with the old code already suffered problems:

* My first attempt ran out of /tmp space.  4.8G was not enough.

* Related to that: With more /tmp space, "gotadmin pack" eventually
  wrote a 4.7G pack file.  The original git clone of the repository
  has only a 1.4G pack file.

* got-index-pack hung.
