[[def_reachability_bitmap]]reachability bitmaps::
Reachability bitmaps store information about the
<<def_reachable,reachability>> of a selected set of commits in
a packfile, or a multi-pack index (MIDX), to speed up object search.
The bitmaps are stored in a ".bitmap" file. A repository may have at
most one bitmap file in use. The bitmap file may belong to either one
