Comment(by kevan):

 So, summarizing discussions with zooko and warner...

 * We first need to handle testing for backwards compatibility. This means
 that we'll want to capture a base32-encoded representation of the output
 of _pack_contents as it sits now when run against some small, known
 directory structure. We'll then use that to test _unpack_contents (to make
 sure that the unpacked directory structure is what we're expecting), and
 _pack contents (to make sure that packing the same known directory
 structure results in the same packed representation).

 * Then we can do the optimizations that this ticket suggests.

 (that didn't really need to be a list, huh.)
