This patch demonstrates a cause of bitmap corruption that can occur when the contents of the multi-pack index does not change, but the underlying object order does. In this example, we have a MIDX containing two packs, each with a distinct set of objects (pack A corresponds to the tree, blob, and commit from the first patch, and pack B corresponds to the second patch). First, a MIDX is written where the 'A' pack is preferred. As expected, the bitmaps generated there are in-tact. But then, we generate an identical MIDX with a different object order: this time preferring pack 'B'. Due to a bug which will be explained and fixed in the following commit, the MIDX is updated, but the .rev file is not, causing the .bitmap file to be read incorrectly. Specifically, the .bitmap file will contain correct data, but the auxiliary object order in the .rev file is stale, causing readers to get confused by reading the new bitmaps using the old object order.
