Thanks for the suggestion.

It is slightly wrong, in that we don't sort by size. Instead we sort by 
modified time. That makes is a little complicated, but I'll give it 
another shot using your framing:

         Create a new pack-file containing objects in small pack-files
         referenced by the multi-pack-index. Select the pack-files by
         examining packs from oldest-to-newest, adding a pack if its
         size is below the batch size. Stop adding packs when the sum
         of sizes of the added packs is above the batch size. If the
         total size does not reach the batch size, then do nothing.
         Rewrite the multi-pack-index to reference the new pack-file.
         A later run of 'git multi-pack-index expire' will delete the
         pack-files that were part of this batch.
