Re: [PATCH v5 0/8] Repack objects into separate packfiles based on a filter

I think that there is a bug lurking in the sense of trying to reuse
bitmaps when covering a pack that doesn't have reachability closure in
this particular scenario.

But there are no "blessed" use-cases for doing this. So I think that we
should indeed fix this, but I am not immediately concerned here.

OK.

No; we can either reuse a complete bitmap or not. So it's fine to OR
all of the (permuted) bits into ent->bitmap, but it's not OK to fill in
just part of them.

Sounds sane.
