I have some unexpected behavior with 'git repack' on git 2.10.2 and 2.11.0.
$ cat /etc/gitconfig
[pack]
writeBitmapHashCache = true
[repack]
writeBitmaps = true
$ touch objects/pack/pack-3841d81123a96cedeb3c1bd7acf7e29bfba26639.keep

It seems like it's behaving as though I've provided
--pack-kept-objects. In order to ensure the .bitmap is created, it
repacks everything, including everything in existing .pack files (not
respecting .keep). But then it's not deleting the old .pack file
(oddly, respecting .keep).
What I'd expect it to do here is ignore the 'repack.writeBitmaps =
true' value if there's a .keep that needs to be respected. Is this not
a correct assumption?
