There's arguments for both ways, I think. Creating the index on-demand
means that we get the same code path and behaviour for repositories that
are upgraded and those that are created with 1.5, for example.

But why not remove the explicit creation logic and just exercise the
on-demand code at creation time (by running a dummy query). That way,
you get the benefit of failure at repository creation time together with
a single code path to test.

Alternatively, keep the explicit creation - it's really not that much
code.
