[PATCH v2] doc: remove misleading documentation on pack names

[Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>]

The index-pack documentation explicitly states that the pack
name is derived from the sorted list of object names, but
that clearly isn't true. I can't seem to be able to figure
out if this was ever changed though.

Be less explicit in the docs as to what the exact output is,
and just say that it's whatever goes into the pack name.

Really it seems to be the sha1 of the entire file, without
the checksum footer.

It was reported that bup writes pack files that have a name
different from what git does, and I think it's quite possibly
because of this documentation ... it doesn't actually really
*matter* though, as long as the file is internally consistent
nothing checks that the name also matches the footer.

You can also take this as a bug report and fix the language in
some other, perhaps more precise way, if you prefer :-)

v2: correct bup list address, oops
