Yeah, sure! Thanks for taking a look at my patches!

I understand your concern, unfortunately, below we have:

idx = bitmap_position(bitmap_git, oid);

and bitmap_position() returns an int at least since 3ae5fa0768
(pack-bitmap: remove bitmap_git global variable, 2018-06-07)

So I think the fix would be much more involved than just changing the
type of the idx variable. It would likely involve modifying
bitmap_position(), and thus would probably best be addressed in a
separate patch series.
