At Facebook we've found that fetch speed is a bottleneck for our Git repos,
so we've been looking to deploy bitmaps to speed up fetches. We've been
trying out git-next with the top two patches from
https://github.com/peff/git/commits/jk/bitmap-reuse-delta, but the following
is reproducible with tip of that branch, currently 81cdec2.

Is it also reproducible just with the tip of "next"? Note that the
patches in jk/bitmap-reuse-delta have not been widely deployed (in
particular, we are not yet using them at GitHub, and we track segfaults
on our servers closely and have not seen any related to this).

Nice to hear.  I was worried for a short while if I merged what was
not cooked well, before I realized that Siddharth is on a codebase
that is more bleeding edge than I use myself ;-)
