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!
