FWIW, I am very much in favor of this series, and would have found
something like this very useful many times in the past when I was
digging into the index code.  So I'd be more than happy to just have
this as debug tool, rather than as 3rd-party API.

I'd also be fine with this living in test-tool, as long as it's
somewhere in git.git where it's easily usable, I'd find it helpful.

Thanks for working on this!
