I added my comments about the commit-graph file, and agree with
Abhradeep's suggestions here.

Adding Taylor as a possible reviewer, too.

The one thing I will say is that there can be multiple .bitmap
files, but Git will only use one of them. Not sure if that is
worth being pedantic about here, though.

We'll need to keep this glossary section in mind in case things
change (such as "at most one bitmap file").
