Yes, there's really not any point in having multiple .bitmap files, as
the bitmaps need to be closed over the set of objects. So you would have
one "base" pack with a bunch of bitmaps. But any pack that builds on
that cannot be bitmapped.

JGit has the same restriction, mostly because it keeps the
implementation much saner, and there is not really a good reason to lift
it (if you want more things bitmapped, you probably also want them
packed to share deltas).

I'm happy to mention that somewhere, but I'm not sure where is most
appropriate.

Yes, it doesn't follow our normal whitespace guidelines. I refrained
from tweaking it for the reason you mentioned (kwset.c is in a similar
boat).

I'd use:

  /* vim: set ts=4 */

myself. :) We have resisted having such modelines so far, leaving it
instead to developers to configure their editor as appropriate. It is
harder when there is an oddball file like this, though. I don't have a
strong opinion either way.

The .bitmap for the kernel is about 6MB of bitmaps, plus about 12MB for
the name-hash cache. The loading procedure needs to read through the
whole bitmap section, as the records are variable width and there is no
index. But to verify the sha1 we'd have to go through the extra 12MB of
name-hash cache, which we would otherwise not need to touch.

Adding a crc would not be too big a deal. However, I'd really like to
focus first on getting the v1 reader/writer merged. That's set in stone
due to JGit, so anything we do for v2 would want to build on top anyway.

Yeah, that sounds reasonable. I'll squash this in:
