I'm going to start with pack-bitmap.h, then builtin/pack-objects.c.

Makes sense. The existing code determines if the given packfile is
suitable, and if yes, the span of the packfile to use. With this patch,
we resolve to use the given packfile, and want to compute which objects
to use, storing the computation result in an uncompressed bitmap.
(Resolving to use the given packfile is not that much different from
existing behavior, as far as I know, since we currently only consider
one packfile at most anyway.)
So replacing the out param makes sense, although a more descriptive name
than "bitmap" would be nice.
Skipping pack-bitmaps.c for now.
OK, builtin/pack-objects.c.

This makes sense - offsets may be different when we omit objects from
the packfile. I think this can be computed by calculating the number of
zero bits between the current object's index and the nth object prior
(where n is the offset) in the bitmap resulting from
reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap() above, thus eliminating the need
for this array, but I haven't tested it.

This if(0) should be deleted.

I didn't look into detail, but this looks like it's writing a single
object. In particular, it can convert OFS into REF, something that the
existing code cannot do.

I presume this optimization is needed for the case where we are using
*all* objects of a packfile, as is typical during a clone.

I didn't look into detail, but it looks like a straightforward loop.

Hmm...why did we previously not need to check the reuse information, but
we do now? I gave the code a cursory glance but couldn't find the
answer.

Same question here - why do we need to check the reuse information?

Relaxing of the allow_ofs_delta condition - makes sense given (as above)
we can convert OFS to REF.
Overall I think that this makes sense, except for my unanswered
questions (and the presence of reused_chunk).
