+pack.writeBitmapLookupTable::
+ When true, Git will include a "lookup table" section in the
+ bitmap index (if one is written). This table is used to defer
+ loading individual bitmaps as late as possible. This can be
+ beneficial in repositories that have relatively large bitmap
+ indexes. Defaults to false.
