It's a _relatively_ new feature to long-time users like us, so maybe the "new == immature" mindset sets in[*]. I skimmed some mail archives but couldn't find any reason not to...

Yup, now with additional tests for repack.writeBitmaps=false, repack (w/o "-a") and a config/repack.txt update ------------8<--------- Subject: [PATCH] repack: enable bitmaps by default on bare repos A typical use case for bare repos is for serving clones and fetches to clients. Enable bitmaps by default on bare repos to make it easier for admins to host git repos in a performant way.
