Yeah. It's also annoyingly long to type, and makes for long lines in the
test scripts. ;)
There are also some weird semantics with the fallback, because the
output may differ depending on whether we use bitmaps (see one of the
later patches). I wouldn't be opposed to cleaning this up and giving it
a new option ("--allow-bitmaps" or something) to keep compatibility, but
it's out of scope here.
The existing option (and my suggestion, as well as most of the internal
code) are guilty of equating "bitmap" with "object reachability bitmap".
There's lots of things one might use bitmaps for, and at some point we
might even expose such a thing via rev-list.
Anyway, that concludes my rant. I don't think any of these are urgent to
fix, and definitely shouldn't be part of this series.
