Merge branch 'tb/repack-write-midx'

"git repack" has been taught to generate multi-pack reachability
bitmaps.

* tb/repack-write-midx:
  test-read-midx: fix leak of bitmap_index struct
  builtin/repack.c: pass `--refs-snapshot` when writing bitmaps
  builtin/repack.c: make largest pack preferred
  builtin/repack.c: support writing a MIDX while repacking
  builtin/repack.c: extract showing progress to a variable
  builtin/repack.c: rename variables that deal with non-kept packs
  builtin/repack.c: keep track of existing packs unconditionally
  midx: preliminary support for `--refs-snapshot`
  builtin/multi-pack-index.c: support `--stdin-packs` mode
  midx: expose `write_midx_file_only()` publicly

+A reference snapshot is composed of line-delimited OIDs corresponding to
+the reference tips, usually taken by `git repack` prior to generating a
+new pack. A line may optionally start with a `+` character to indicate
+that the reference which corresponds to that OID is "preferred" (see
+linkgit:git-config[1]'s `pack.preferBitmapTips`.)
++
+The file given at `<path>` is expected to be readable, and can contain
+duplicates. (If a given OID is given more than once, it is marked as
+preferred if at least one instance of it begins with the special `+`
+marker).
