The bitmap index only works for single packs, so requesting an
incremental repack with bitmap indexes makes no sense.

Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] auto gc: don't write bitmaps for incremental repacks
Message-ID: <1482948720-21488-1-git-send-email-dturner@twosigma.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1482948720-21488-1-git-send-email-dturner%40twosigma.com

```
When git gc --auto does an incremental repack of loose objects, we do
not expect to be able to write a bitmap; it is very likely that
objects in the new pack will have references to objects outside of the
pack.  So we shouldn't try to write a bitmap, because doing so will
likely issue a warning.

This warning was making its way into gc.log.  When the gc.log was
present, future auto gc runs would refuse to run.

Patch by Jeff King.
Bug report, test, and commit message by David Turner.

The SP before LF could be removed.

The string is marked for translation here...

... but then any translations remain unused. This should be

		die(_(incremental_bitmap_conflict_error));
