<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_pack_and_multi_pack_bitmaps">Pack and multi-pack bitmaps</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Bitmaps store reachability information about the set of objects in a packfile,
or a multi-pack index (MIDX). The former is defined obviously, and the latter is
defined as the union of objects in packs contained in the MIDX.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A bitmap may belong to either one pack, or the repository&#8217;s multi-pack index (if
it exists). A repository may have at most one bitmap.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>An object is uniquely described by its bit position within a bitmap:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
If the bitmap belongs to a packfile, the <em>n</em>th bit corresponds to
        the <em>n</em>th object in pack order. For a function <code>offset</code> which maps
        objects to their byte offset within a pack, pack order is defined as
        follows:
</p>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>o1 &lt;= o2 &lt;==&gt; offset(o1) &lt;= offset(o2)</code></pre>
</div></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If the bitmap belongs to a MIDX, the <em>n</em>th bit corresponds to the
        <em>n</em>th object in MIDX order. With an additional function <code>pack</code> which
        maps objects to the pack they were selected from by the MIDX, MIDX order
        is defined as follows:
</p>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>o1 &lt;= o2 &lt;==&gt; pack(o1) &lt;= pack(o2) /\ offset(o1) &lt;= offset(o2)</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The ordering between packs is done according to the MIDX&#8217;s .rev file.
Notably, the preferred pack sorts ahead of all other packs.</p></div>
</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The on-disk representation (described below) of a bitmap is the same regardless
of whether or not that bitmap belongs to a packfile or a MIDX. The only
difference is the interpretation of the bits, which is described above.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Certain bitmap extensions are supported (see: Appendix B). No extensions are
required for bitmaps corresponding to packfiles. For bitmaps that correspond to
MIDXs, both the bit-cache and rev-cache extensions are required.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_on_disk_format">On-disk format</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
A header appears at the beginning:
</p>
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
4-byte signature: 
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
{<em>B</em>, <em>I</em>, <em>T</em>, <em>M</em>}
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
2-byte version number (network byte order): 
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
            The current implementation only supports version 1
            of the bitmap index (the same one as JGit).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
2-byte flags (network byte order): 
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
            The following flags are supported:
</p>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
</p>
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
BITMAP_OPT_FULL_DAG (0x1) REQUIRED: 
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
            This flag must always be present. It implies that the
            bitmap index has been generated for a packfile or
            multi-pack index (MIDX) with full closure (i.e. where
            every single object in the packfile/MIDX can find its
            parent links inside the same packfile/MIDX). This is a
            requirement for the bitmap index format, also present in
            JGit, that greatly reduces the complexity of the
            implementation.
