Probably worth adding a test that exercises this new config option - somehow create an index with index.recordOffsetTable=1, check that the index contains the appropriate string (a few ways to do this, but I'm not sure which are portable), and then run a Git command that reads the index to make sure it is valid; then do the same except index.recordOffsetTable=0. The code itself looks good to me. Same comment for patch 1.
