The pack bitmap file gained a bitmap-lookup table to speed up locating the necessary bitmap for a given commit. * ac/bitmap-lookup-table: pack-bitmap-write: drop unused pack_idx_entry parameters bitmap-lookup-table: add performance tests for lookup table pack-bitmap: prepare to read lookup table extension pack-bitmap-write: learn pack.writeBitmapLookupTable and add tests pack-bitmap-write.c: write lookup table extension bitmap: move `get commit positions` code to `bitmap_writer_finish` Documentation/technical: describe bitmap lookup table extension

+pack.writeBitmapLookupTable::
+ When true, Git will include a "lookup table" section in the
+ bitmap index (if one is written). This table is used to defer
+ loading individual bitmaps as late as possible. This can be
+ beneficial in repositories that have relatively large bitmap
+ indexes. Defaults to false.
