This commit introduces the infrastructure for the core.fsync
configuration knob. The repository components we want to sync
are identified by flags so that we can turn on or off syncing
for specific components.
If core.fsyncObjectFiles is set and the core.fsync configuration
also includes FSYNC_COMPONENT_LOOSE_OBJECT, we will fsync any
loose objects. This picks the strictest data integrity behavior
if core.fsync and core.fsyncObjectFiles are set to conflicting values.
This change introduces the currently unused fsync_component
helper, which will be used by a later patch that adds fsyncing to
the refs backend.
Actual configuration and documentation of the fsync components
list are in other patches in the series to separate review of
the underlying mechanism from the policy of how it's configured.

Fix a bug that's been here since 7cc8f971085 (pack-objects: implement
bitmap writing, 2013-12-21), we did not call stop_progress() if we
reached the early exit in this function.
We could call stop_progress() before we return, but better yet is to
defer calling start_progress() until we need it. For now this only
matters in practice because we'd previously omit the "region_leave"
for the progress trace2 event.

This prepares the code in pack-bitmap to interpret the new multi-pack
bitmaps described in Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt, which
mostly involves converting bit positions to accommodate looking them up
in a MIDX.
Note that there are currently no writers who write multi-pack bitmaps,
and that this will be implemented in the subsequent commit. Note also
that get_midx_checksum() and get_midx_filename() are made non-static so
they can be called from pack-bitmap.c.

When writing a new bitmap, the bitmap writer code attempts to read the
existing bitmap (if one is present). This is done in order to quickly
permute the bits of any bitmaps for commits which appear in the existing
bitmap, and were also selected for the new bitmap.
But since this code was added in 341fa34887 (pack-bitmap-write: use
existing bitmaps, 2020-12-08), the resources associated with opening an
existing bitmap were never released.
It's fine to ignore this, but it's bad hygiene. It will also cause a
problem for the multi-pack-index builtin, which will be responsible not
only for writing bitmaps, but also for expiring any old multi-pack
bitmaps.
If an existing bitmap was reused here, it will also be expired. That
will cause a problem on platforms which require file resources to be
closed before unlinking them, like Windows. Avoid this by ensuring we
close reused bitmaps with free_bitmap_index() before removing them.

The set of objects covered by a bitmap must be closed under
reachability, since it must be the case that there is a valid bit
position assigned for every possible reachable object (otherwise the
bitmaps would be incomplete).
Pack bitmaps are never written from 'git repack' unless repacking
all-into-one, and so we never write non-closed bitmaps (except in the
case of partial clones where we aren't guaranteed to have all objects).
But multi-pack bitmaps change this, since it isn't known whether the
set of objects in the MIDX is closed under reachability until walking
them. Plumb through a bit that is set when a reachable object isn't
found.
As soon as a reachable object isn't found in the set of objects to
include in the bitmap, bitmap_writer_build() knows that the set is not
closed, and so it now fails gracefully.
A test is added in t0410 to trigger a bitmap write without full
reachability closure by removing local copies of some reachable objects
from a promisor remote.

All of our callers are actually looking up an object_id, not a bare
hash. Likewise, the arrays they are looking in are actual arrays of
object_id (not just raw bytes of hashes, as we might find in a pack
.idx; those are handled by bsearch_hash()).
Using an object_id gives us more type safety, and makes the callers
slightly shorter. It also gets rid of the word "sha1" from several
access functions, though we could obviously also rename those with
s/sha1/hash/.

If the old bitmap file contains a bitmap for a given commit, then that
commit does not need help from intermediate commits in its history to
compute its final bitmap. Eject that commit from the walk and insert it
into a separate list of reusable commits that are eventually stored in
the list of commits for computing bitmaps.
This helps the repeat bitmap computation task, even if the selected
commits shift drastically. This helps when a previously-bitmapped commit
exists in the first-parent history of a newly-selected commit. Since we
stop the walk at these commits and we use a first-parent walk, it is
harder to walk "around" these bitmapped commits. It's not impossible,
but we can greatly reduce the computation time for many selected
commits.

The previous commits improved the bitmap computation process for very
long, linear histories with many refs by removing quadratic growth in
how many objects were walked. The strategy of computing "intermediate
commits" using bitmasks for which refs can reach those commits
partitioned the poset of reachable objects so each part could be walked
exactly once. This was effective for linear histories.
However, there was a (significant) drawback: wide histories with many
refs had an explosion of memory costs to compute the commit bitmasks
during the exploration that discovers these intermediate commits. Since
these wide histories are unlikely to repeat walking objects, the benefit
of walking objects multiple times was not expensive before. But now, the
commit walk *before computing bitmaps* is incredibly expensive.
In an effort to discover a happy medium, this change reduces the walk
for intermediate commits to only the first-parent history. This focuses
the walk on how the histories converge, which still has significant
reduction in repeat object walks. It is still possible to create
quadratic behavior in this version, but it is probably less likely in
realistic data shapes.
Here is some data taken on a fresh clone of the kernel:

When constructing new bitmaps, we perform a commit and tree walk in
fill_bitmap_commit() and fill_bitmap_tree(). This walk would benefit
from using existing bitmaps when available. We must track the existing
bitmaps and translate them into the new object order, but this is
generally faster than parsing trees.
In fill_bitmap_commit(), we must reorder thing somewhat. The priority
queue walks commits from newest-to-oldest, which means we correctly stop
walking when reaching a commit with a bitmap. However, if we walk trees
interleaved with the commits, then we might be parsing trees that are
actually part of a re-used bitmap. To avoid over-walking trees, add them
to a LIFO queue and walk them after exploring commits completely.
On git.git, this reduces a second immediate bitmap computation from 2.0s
to 1.0s. On linux.git, we go from 32s to 22s. On chromium's fork
network, we go from 227s to 198s.

The on-disk bitmap format has a flag to mark a bitmap to be "reused".
This is a rather curious feature, and works like this:
- a run of pack-objects would decide to mark the last 80% of the
bitmaps it generates with the reuse flag
- the next time we generate bitmaps, we'd see those reuse flags from
the last run, and mark those commits as special:
- we'd be more likely to select those commits to get bitmaps in
the new output
- when generating the bitmap for a selected commit, we'd reuse the
old bitmap as-is (rearranging the bits to match the new pack, of
course)
However, neither of these behaviors particularly makes sense.
Just because a commit happened to be bitmapped last time does not make
it a good candidate for having a bitmap this time. In particular, we may
choose bitmaps based on how recent they are in history, or whether a ref
tip points to them, and those things will change. We're better off
re-considering fresh which commits are good candidates.
Reusing the existing bitmap _is_ a reasonable thing to do to save
computation. But only reusing exact bitmaps is a weak form of this. If
we have an old bitmap for A and now want a new bitmap for its child, we
should be able to compute that only by looking at trees and that are new
to the child. But this code would consider only exact reuse (which is
perhaps why it was eager to select those commits in the first place).
Furthermore, the recent switch to the reverse-edge algorithm for
generating bitmaps dropped this optimization entirely (and yet still
performs better).
So let's do a few cleanups:
- drop the whole "reusing bitmaps" phase of generating bitmaps. It's
not helping anything, and is mostly unused code (or worse, code that
is using CPU but not doing anything useful)
- drop the use of the on-disk reuse flag to select commits to bitmap
- stop setting the on-disk reuse flag in bitmaps we generate (since
nothing respects it anymore)
We will keep a few innards of the reuse code, which will help us
implement a more capable version of the "reuse" optimization:
- simplify rebuild_existing_bitmaps() into a function that only builds
the mapping of bits between the old and new orders, but doesn't
actually convert any bitmaps
- make rebuild_bitmap() public; we'll call it lazily to convert bitmaps
as we traverse (using the mapping created above)

The bitmap_writer_build() method calls bitmap_builder_init() to
construct a list of commits reachable from the selected commits along
with a "reverse graph". This reverse graph has edges pointing from a
commit to other commits that can reach that commit. After computing a
reachability bitmap for a commit, the values in that bitmap are then
copied to the reachability bitmaps across the edges in the reverse
graph.
We can now relax the role of the reverse graph to greatly reduce the
number of intermediate reachability bitmaps we compute during this
reverse walk. The end result is that we walk objects the same number of
times as before when constructing the reachability bitmaps, but we also
spend much less time copying bits between bitmaps and have much lower
memory pressure in the process.
The core idea is to select a set of "important" commits based on
interactions among the sets of commits reachable from each selected commit.
The first technical concept is to create a new 'commit_mask' member in the
bb_commit struct. Note that the selected commits are provided in an
ordered array. The first thing to do is to mark the ith bit in the
commit_mask for the ith selected commit. As we walk the commit-graph, we
copy the bits in a commit's commit_mask to its parents. At the end of
the walk, the ith bit in the commit_mask for a commit C stores a boolean
representing "The ith selected commit can reach C."
As we walk, we will discover non-selected commits that are important. We
will get into this later, but those important commits must also receive
bit positions, growing the width of the bitmasks as we walk. At the true
end of the walk, the ith bit means "the ith _important_ commit can reach
C."
MAXIMAL COMMITS
---------------
We use a new 'maximal' bit in the bb_commit struct to represent whether
a commit is important or not. The term "maximal" comes from the
partially-ordered set of commits in the commit-graph where C >= P if P
is a parent of C, and then extending the relationship transitively.
Instead of taking the maximal commits across the entire commit-graph, we
instead focus on selecting each commit that is maximal among commits
with the same bits on in their commit_mask. This definition is
important, so let's consider an example.
Suppose we have three selected commits A, B, and C. These are assigned
bitmasks 100, 010, and 001 to start. Each of these can be marked as
maximal immediately because they each will be the uniquely maximal
commit that contains their own bit. Keep in mind that that these commits
may have different bitmasks after the walk; for example, if B can reach
C but A cannot, then the final bitmask for C is 011. Even in these
cases, C would still be a maximal commit among all commits with the
third bit on in their masks.
Now define sets X, Y, and Z to be the sets of commits reachable from A,
B, and C, respectively. The intersections of these sets correspond to
different bitmasks:
* 100: X - (Y union Z)
* 010: Y - (X union Z)
* 001: Z - (X union Y)
* 110: (X intersect Y) - Z
* 101: (X intersect Z) - Y
* 011: (Y intersect Z) - X
* 111: X intersect Y intersect Z
This can be visualized with the following Hasse diagram:
100 010 001
| \ / \ / |
| \/ \/ |
| /\ /\ |
| / \ / \ |
110 101 011
\___ | ___/
\ | /
111
Some of these bitmasks may not be represented, depending on the topology
of the commit-graph. In fact, we are counting on it, since the number of
possible bitmasks is exponential in the number of selected commits, but
is also limited by the total number of commits. In practice, very few
bitmasks are possible because most commits converge on a common "trunk"
in the commit history.
With this three-bit example, we wish to find commits that are maximal
for each bitmask. How can we identify this as we are walking?
As we walk, we visit a commit C. Since we are walking the commits in
topo-order, we know that C is visited after all of its children are
visited. Thus, when we get C from the revision walk we inspect the
'maximal' property of its bb_data and use that to determine if C is truly
important. Its commit_mask is also nearly final. If C is not one of the
originally-selected commits, then assign a bit position to C (by
incrementing num_maximal) and set that bit on in commit_mask. See
"MULTIPLE MAXIMAL COMMITS" below for more detail on this.
Now that the commit C is known to be maximal or not, consider each
parent P of C. Compute two new values:
* c_not_p : true if and only if the commit_mask for C contains a bit
that is not contained in the commit_mask for P.
* p_not_c : true if and only if the commit_mask for P contains a bit
that is not contained in the commit_mask for P.
If c_not_p is false, then P already has all of the bits that C would
provide to its commit_mask. In this case, move on to other parents as C
has nothing to contribute to P's state that was not already provided by
other children of P.
We continue with the case that c_not_p is true. This means there are
bits in C's commit_mask to copy to P's commit_mask, so use bitmap_or()
to add those bits.
If p_not_c is also true, then set the maximal bit for P to one. This means
that if no other commit has P as a parent, then P is definitely maximal.
This is because no child had the same bitmask. It is important to think
about the maximal bit for P at this point as a temporary state: "P is
maximal based on current information."
In contrast, if p_not_c is false, then set the maximal bit for P to
zero. Further, clear all reverse_edges for P since any edges that were
previously assigned to P are no longer important. P will gain all
reverse edges based on C.
The final thing we need to do is to update the reverse edges for P.
These reverse edges respresent "which closest maximal commits
contributed bits to my commit_mask?" Since C contributed bits to P's
commit_mask in this case, C must add to the reverse edges of P.
If C is maximal, then C is a 'closest' maximal commit that contributed
bits to P. Add C to P's reverse_edges list.
Otherwise, C has a list of maximal commits that contributed bits to its
bitmask (and this list is exactly one element). Add all of these items
to P's reverse_edges list. Be careful to ignore duplicates here.
After inspecting all parents P for a commit C, we can clear the
commit_mask for C. This reduces the memory load to be limited to the
"width" of the commit graph.
Consider our ABC/XYZ example from earlier and let's inspect the state of
the commits for an interesting bitmask, say 011. Suppose that D is the
only maximal commit with this bitmask (in the first three bits). All
other commits with bitmask 011 have D as the only entry in their
reverse_edges list. D's reverse_edges list contains B and C.
COMPUTING REACHABILITY BITMAPS
------------------------------
Now that we have our definition, let's zoom out and consider what
happens with our new reverse graph when computing reachability bitmaps.
We walk the reverse graph in reverse-topo-order, so we visit commits
with largest commit_masks first. After we compute the reachability
bitmap for a commit C, we push the bits in that bitmap to each commit D
in the reverse edge list for C. Then, when we finally visit D we already
have the bits for everything reachable from maximal commits that D can
reach and we only need to walk the objects in the set-difference.
In our ABC/XYZ example, when we finally walk for the commit A we only
need to walk commits with bitmask equal to A's bitmask. If that bitmask
is 100, then we are only walking commits in X - (Y union Z) because the
bitmap already contains the bits for objects reachable from (X intersect
Y) union (X intersect Z) (i.e. the bits from the reachability bitmaps
for the maximal commits with bitmasks 110 and 101).
The behavior is intended to walk each commit (and the trees that commit
introduces) at most once while allocating and copying fewer reachability
bitmaps. There is one caveat: what happens when there are multiple
maximal commits with the same bitmask, with respect to the initial set
of selected commits?
MULTIPLE MAXIMAL COMMITS
------------------------
Earlier, we mentioned that when we discover a new maximal commit, we
assign a new bit position to that commit and set that bit position to
one for that commit. This is absolutely important for interesting
commit-graphs such as git/git and torvalds/linux. The reason is due to
the existence of "butterflies" in the commit-graph partial order.
Here is an example of four commits forming a butterfly:
I J
|\ /|
| \/ |
| /\ |
|/ \|
M N
\ /
|/
Q
Here, I and J both have parents M and N. In general, these do not need
to be exact parent relationships, but reachability relationships. The
most important part is that M and N cannot reach each other, so they are
independent in the partial order. If I had commit_mask 10 and J had
commit_mask 01, then M and N would both be assigned commit_mask 11 and
be maximal commits with the bitmask 11. Then, what happens when M and N
can both reach a commit Q? If Q is also assigned the bitmask 11, then it
is not maximal but is reachable from both M and N.
While this is not necessarily a deal-breaker for our abstract definition
of finding maximal commits according to a given bitmask, we have a few
issues that can come up in our larger picture of constructing
reachability bitmaps.
In particular, if we do not also consider Q to be a "maximal" commit,
then we will walk commits reachable from Q twice: once when computing
the reachability bitmap for M and another time when computing the
reachability bitmap for N. This becomes much worse if the topology
continues this pattern with multiple butterflies.
The solution has already been mentioned: each of M and N are assigned
their own bits to the bitmask and hence they become uniquely maximal for
their bitmasks. Finally, Q also becomes maximal and thus we do not need
to walk its commits multiple times. The final bitmasks for these commits
are as follows:
I:10 J:01
|\ /|
| \ _____/ |
| /\____ |
|/ \ |
M:111 N:1101
\ /
Q:1111
Further, Q's reverse edge list is { M, N }, while M and N both have
reverse edge list { I, J }.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS
------------------------
Now that we've spent a LOT of time on the theory of this algorithm,
let's show that this is actually worth all that effort.
To test the performance, use GIT_TRACE2_PERF=1 when running
'git repack -abd' in a repository with no existing reachability bitmaps.
This avoids any issues with keeping existing bitmaps to skew the
numbers.
Inspect the "building_bitmaps_total" region in the trace2 output to
focus on the portion of work that is affected by this change. Here are
the performance comparisons for a few repositories. The timings are for
the following versions of Git: "multi" is the timing from before any
reverse graph is constructed, where we might perform multiple
traversals. "reverse" is for the previous change where the reverse graph
has every reachable commit. Finally "maximal" is the version introduced
here where the reverse graph only contains the maximal commits.
Repository: git/git
multi: 2.628 sec
reverse: 2.344 sec
maximal: 2.047 sec
Repository: torvalds/linux
multi: 64.7 sec
reverse: 205.3 sec
maximal: 44.7 sec
So in all cases we've not only recovered any time lost to switching to
the reverse-edge algorithm, but we come out ahead of "multi" in all
cases. Likewise, peak heap has gone back to something reasonable:
Repository: torvalds/linux
multi: 2.087 GB
reverse: 3.141 GB
maximal: 2.288 GB
While I do not have access to full fork networks on GitHub, Peff has run
this algorithm on the chromium/chromium fork network and reported a
change from 3 hours to ~233 seconds. That network is particularly
beneficial for this approach because it has a long, linear history along
with many tags. The "multi" approach was obviously quadratic and the new
approach is linear.

The bitmap_builder_init() method walks the reachable commits in
topological order and constructs a "reverse graph" along the way. At the
moment, this reverse graph contains an edge from commit A to commit B if
and only if A is a parent of B. Thus, the name "children" is appropriate
for for this reverse graph.
In the next change, we will repurpose the reverse graph to not be
directly-adjacent commits in the commit-graph, but instead a more
abstract relationship. The previous changes have already incorporated
the necessary updates to fill_bitmap_commit() that allow these edges to
not be immediate children.

The current implementation of bitmap_writer_build() creates a
reachability bitmap for every walked commit. After computing a bitmap
for a commit, those bits are pushed to an in-progress bitmap for its
children.
fill_bitmap_commit() assumes the bits corresponding to objects
reachable from the parents of a commit are already set. This means that
when visiting a new commit, we only have to walk the objects reachable
between it and any of its parents.
A future change to bitmap_writer_build() will relax this condition so
not all parents have their bits set. Prepare for that by having
'fill_bitmap_commit()' walk parents until reaching commits whose bits
are already set. Then, walk the trees for these commits as well.
This has no functional change with the current implementation of
bitmap_writer_build().

Our algorithm to generate reachability bitmaps walks through the commit
graph from the bottom up, passing bitmap data from each commit to its
descendants. For a linear stretch of history like:
A -- B -- C
our sequence of steps is:
- compute the bitmap for A by walking its trees, etc
- duplicate A's bitmap as a starting point for B; we can now free A's
bitmap, since we only needed it as an intermediate result
- OR in any extra objects that B can reach into its bitmap
- duplicate B's bitmap as a starting point for C; likewise, free B's
bitmap
- OR in objects for C, and so on...
Rather than duplicating bitmaps and immediately freeing the original, we
can just pass ownership from commit to commit. Note that this doesn't
always work:
- the recipient may be a merge which already has an intermediate
bitmap from its other ancestor. In that case we have to OR our
result into it. Note that the first ancestor to reach the merge does
get to pass ownership, though.
- we may have multiple children; we can only pass ownership to one of
them
However, it happens often enough and copying bitmaps is expensive enough
that this provides a noticeable speedup. On a clone of linux.git, this
reduces the time to generate bitmaps from 205s to 70s. This is about the
same amount of time it took to generate bitmaps using our old "many
traversals" algorithm (the previous commit measures the identical
scenario as taking 63s). It unfortunately provides only a very modest
reduction in the peak memory usage, though.

The bitmap generation code works by iterating over the set of commits
for which we plan to write bitmaps, and then for each one performing a
traditional traversal over the reachable commits and trees, filling in
the bitmap. Between two traversals, we can often reuse the previous
bitmap result as long as the first commit is an ancestor of the second.
However, our worst case is that we may end up doing "n" complete
complete traversals to the root in order to create "n" bitmaps.
In a real-world case (the shared-storage repo consisting of all GitHub
forks of chromium/chromium), we perform very poorly: generating bitmaps
takes ~3 hours, whereas we can walk the whole object graph in ~3
minutes.
This commit completely rewrites the algorithm, with the goal of
accessing each object only once. It works roughly like this:
- generate a list of commits in topo-order using a single traversal
- invert the edges of the graph (so have parents point at their
children)
- make one pass in reverse topo-order, generating a bitmap for each
commit and passing the result along to child nodes
We generate correct results because each node we visit has already had
all of its ancestors added to the bitmap. And we make only two linear
passes over the commits.
We also visit each tree usually only once. When filling in a bitmap, we
don't bother to recurse into trees whose bit is already set in the
bitmap (since we know we've already done so when setting their bit).
That means that if commit A references tree T, none of its descendants
will need to open T again. I say "usually", though, because it is
possible for a given tree to be mentioned in unrelated parts of history
(e.g., cherry-picking to a parallel branch).
So we've accomplished our goal, and the resulting algorithm is pretty
simple to understand. But there are some downsides, at least with this
initial implementation:
- we no longer reuse the results of any on-disk bitmaps when
generating. So we'd expect to sometimes be slower than the original
when bitmaps already exist. However, this is something we'll be able
to add back in later.
- we use much more memory. Instead of keeping one bitmap in memory at
a time, we're passing them up through the graph. So our memory use
should scale with the graph width (times the size of a bitmap).
So how does it perform?
For a clone of linux.git, generating bitmaps from scratch with the old
algorithm took 63s. Using this algorithm it takes 205s. Which is much
worse, but _might_ be acceptable if it behaved linearly as the size
grew. It also increases peak heap usage by ~1G. That's not impossibly
large, but not encouraging.
On the complete fork-network of torvalds/linux, it increases the peak
RAM usage by 40GB. Yikes. (I forgot to record the time it took, but the
memory usage was too much to consider this reasonable anyway).
On the complete fork-network of chromium/chromium, I ran out of memory
before succeeding. Some back-of-the-envelope calculations indicate it
would need 80+GB to complete.
So at this stage, we've managed to make things much worse. But because
of the way this new algorithm is structured, there are a lot of
opportunities for optimization on top. We'll start implementing those in
the follow-on patches.

Once upon a time, the code to add an object to our packing list in
pack-objects all lived in a single function. It computed the position
within the hash table once, then used it to check if the object was
already present, and if not, to add it.
Later, in 2834bc27c1 (pack-objects: refactor the packing list,
2013-10-24), this was split into two functions: packlist_find() and
packlist_alloc(). We ended up with an "index_pos" variable that gets
passed through several functions to make it from one to the other.
The resulting code is rather confusing to follow. The "index_pos"
variable is sometimes undefined, if we don't yet have a hash table. This
works out in practice because in that case packlist_alloc() won't use it
at all, since it will have to create/grow the hash table. But it's hard
to verify that, and it does cause gcc 9.2.1's -Wmaybe-uninitialized to
complain when compiled with "-flto -O3" (rightfully, since we do pass
the uninitialized value as a function parameter, even if nobody ends up
using it).
All of this is to save computing the hash index again when we're
inserting into the hash table, which I found doesn't make a measurable
difference in the program runtime (which is not surprising, since we're
doing all kinds of other heavyweight things for each object).
Let's just drop this index_pos variable entirely, simplifying the code
(and pleasing the compiler).
We might be better still refactoring this custom hash table to use one
of our existing implementations (an oidmap, or a kh_oid_map). I stopped
short of that here, but this would be the likely first step towards that
anyway.

We take a raw hash pointer, but most of our callers have a "struct
object_id" already. Let's switch to taking the full struct, which will
let us continue removing uses of raw sha1 buffers.
There are two callers that do need special attention:
- in rebuild_existing_bitmaps(), we need to switch to
nth_packed_object_oid(). This incurs an extra hash copy over
pointing straight to the mmap'd sha1, but it shouldn't be measurable
compared to the rest of the operation.
- in can_reuse_delta() we already spent the effort to copy the sha1
into a "struct object_id", but now we just have to do so a little
earlier in the function (we can't easily convert that function's
callers because they may be pointing at mmap'd REF_DELTA blocks).

Remove the bitmap_git global variable. Instead, generate on demand an
instance of struct bitmap_index for code that needs to access it.
This allows us significant control over the lifetime of instances of
struct bitmap_index. In particular, packs can now be closed without
worrying if an unnecessarily long-lived "pack" field in struct
bitmap_index still points to it.
The bitmap API is also clearer in that we need to first obtain a struct
bitmap_index, then we use it.
This patch raises two potential issues: (1) memory for the struct
bitmap_index is allocated without being freed, and (2)
prepare_bitmap_git() and prepare_bitmap_walk() can reuse a previously
loaded bitmap. For (1), this will be dealt with in a subsequent patch in
this patch set that also deals with freeing the contents of the struct
bitmap_index (which were not freed previously, because they have global
scope). For (2), current bitmap users only load the bitmap once at most
(note that pack-objects can use bitmaps or write bitmaps, but not both
at the same time), so support for reuse has no effect - and future users
can pass around the struct bitmap_index * obtained if they need to do 2
or more things with the same bitmap.

identifiers from the header are used. That can happen later
