Hi everyone,
I'm seeing the message
   remote: warning: ignoring extra bitmap file: ./objects/pack/pack-2943dc24....pack
and indeed, there is such a thing (two, actually):
   171736188 Aug 17 08:20 pack-2943dc2477026f87b280ebcefa93fe28412688df.idx

But it looks like something went wrong in that repack cycle (that pack-2943dc247702 is the full repo), and it won't get removed later in the next repack in the evening.

Question: Can I safely remove the .bitmap file, and repack will then
clean up the .pack and .idx files as will?

(This is still that repo in bitbucket (latest 4.x) server with git 2.6.2, now with cg.auto=0.)
