Wow, after reading the log message of that commit, I realize that we already were considering that one-bit-per-ref needs dynamic scaling and folks must have been thinking hard about it (I do not think the author of the commit alone thought it---it must have been a group effort on the list, which the log message merely explains the motivation behind the design).
