Lift --stdout restriction for using reachability bitmap in pack-objects?

Commit 6b8fda2 (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects - 2013-12-21) turns off reachability bitmap optimization if --stdout is not specified. I wonder if we could lift this restriction?

My use case is debugging pack-objects in gdb (repeatedly) where this optimization could really save time. But specifying --stdout would clutter gdb interface.. I don't know this code well enough to judge, but I think the worst thing is we don't write .idx file out (maybe because it would involve a lot more work).
