Subject: Lift --stdout restriction for using reachability bitmap in pack-objects?
Message-ID: <CACsJy8AC5ZcsB2_qS4k-+6fJt2_e7m=o8C9UAEcywh=P_4HXAw@mail.gmail.com>

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).
