The GVFS protocol includes an index file along with pack file in the prefetch workflow (primarily used on a new clone to fetch all commits and trees). Currently, GVFS blindly accepts that index file. This pull request changes GVFS prefetch to discard the index sent by the server and always create an index locally. This provides improved security and verification of the pack file, at the expense of performance for the first clone of a repository on a new drive.
Always index locally for prefetch packs
