Heh, that was actually the part of this series that I struggled the most
with. I didn't like "if possible" because that is already how we behave
(we continue without bitmaps if we can't make them, even if the user
asked for them explicitly). I had "if convenient" at one point, but it
seemed too vague and too long. ;)
So I'm happy to change it, but it would require somebody coming up with
a better name.

Yeah, I also noticed that was a bit subtle. Maybe a comment:
/* leave as -1 to indicate "auto bitmaps" */
or something would help. I also thought about writing it as:
if (write_bitmaps < 0) {
if ((pack_everything & ALL_INTO_ONE) &&
is_bare_repository() &&
keep_pack_list.nr == 0 &&
!hash_pack_keep_file()) {
write_bitmaps = -1; /* indicates auto-enabled */
} else {
write_bitmaps = 0;
}
}
Better?
