Is the thinking there that we care mostly about 'git push' and 'git repack' on the client-side? I don't think it's unreasonable necessarily, but I would add that client-side users definitely do use bitmaps (though not delta islands), either when working in a bare repository (where bitmaps are the default) or when using 'git gc' (and/or through 'git maintenance') when 'repack.writeBitmaps' is enabled.
I suppose some users do use bitmaps, but in my experience, client-side pushes are slower with bitmaps because a typical target branch is faster to compute by doing a commit walk, at least when the bitmaps are older than the new commits in the topic branch. This may be outdated by now, as it has been a few years since I did a client-side test of bitmaps. Thanks, -Stolee
