OK. I still think of bitmaps as something that might need manual care
and feeding, but I think that may be leftover superstition. I can't
offhand think of any real downsides to this.

So we'll have "-1" be "not decided yet". Makes sense.

Might it be easier here to always resolve "-1" into a 0/1? I.e., like:

  if (write_bitmaps < 0)
	write_bitmaps = (pack_everything & ALL_INTO_ONE) && is_bare_repository();

and then the rest of the logic can stay the same, and does not need to
be modified to handle "write_bitmaps < 0"?

Please don't "cd" outside of a subshell, since it impacts further tests
that are added.

Are we sure we have just done $pack here? Our repo came from a
local-disk clone, which would have just hard-linked whatever was in the
source repo. So we're subtly relying on the state that other tests have
left.

I'm not sure what we're trying to accomplish with this unpacking,
though. Running "git repack -ad" should generate bitmaps whether the
objects were already in a single pack or not. So I think this test can
just be:

  git clone --bare . bare.git &&
  git -C bare.git repack -ad &&
  bitmap=$(ls objects/pack/*.bitmap)
  test_path_is_file "$bitmap"

I do agree with Ævar it might also be worth testing that disabling
bitmaps explicitly still works. And also that repacking _without_ "-a"
(i.e., an incremental) does not complain about being unable to generate
bitmaps.
