This is not quite right. That refactoring commit correctly passes the
result of sha1_pack_index_name() for the newly-added parameter. It's the
_next_ commit which then erroneously passes NULL. :)
Here's my fix with a proper commit message. I tweaked the title on your
test, as I didn't find the original very descriptive. I also bumped the
call to sha1_pack_index_name() into the caller, as that makes more sense
to me after reading the older commits (and there are literally no other
callers outside of this function).

Once upon a time, dumb http always fetched .idx files
directly into their final location, and then checked their
validity with parse_pack_index. This was refactored in
commit 750ef42 (http-fetch: Use temporary files for
pack-*.idx until verified, 2010-04-19), which uses the
following logic:
1. If we have the idx already in place, see if it's
valid (using parse_pack_index). If so, use it.
2. Otherwise, fetch the .idx to a tempfile, check
that, and if so move it into place.
3. Either way, fetch the pack itself if necessary.
However, it got step 1 wrong. We pass a NULL path parameter
to parse_pack_index, so an existing .idx file always looks
broken. Worse, we do not treat this broken .idx as an
opportunity to re-fetch, but instead return an error,
ignoring the pack entirely. This can lead to a dumb-http
fetch failing to retrieve the necessary objects.
This doesn't come up much in practice, because it must be a
packfile that we found out about (and whose .idx we stored)
during an earlier dumb-http fetch, but whose packfile we
_didn't_ fetch. I.e., we did a partial clone of a
repository, didn't need some packfiles, and now a followup
fetch needs them.

I'm happy to flip the authorship on this. You have more lines in it than
I do. :)
As I mentioned before, I think we could treat a broken .idx file
differently (by deleting and refetching), but I doubt it matters in
practice. The only reason this came up at all is that our test for
"broken" was bogus, and it may be better to let a user diagnose and
deal with breakage.
