repack: enable bitmaps by default on bare repos

Eric Wong · gitster · commit 36eba0323d32 · 2019-03-18T14:09:54.000+09:00
A typical use case for bare repos is for serving clones and
fetches to clients.  Enable bitmaps by default on bare repos to
make it easier for admins to host git repos in a performant way.
