No, this is not the case. That's the return case for when *the object
was found because it already existed in the hash table* (hence we
access it if we're excluding it, to tag it as excluded). We don't want
to remove it from the hash table because we're not the ones we
inserted it.

We only call `kh_del_sha1` in the cases where:

    1. The object wasn't found.
    2. We inserted its key on the hash table.
    3. We later learnt that we don't really want to pack this object.

Yes, apologies for not making this clear. By refactoring into `_1`,
you can see how `traverse_bitmap_commit_list` can use the `_1` version
directly as a callback, to insert objects straight into the packing
list without looking them up. This is very efficient because we can
pass the whole API straight from the bitmap code:

1. The SHA1: we find it by simply looking up the `nth` sha1 on the
pack index (if we are yielding bit `n`)
2. The object type: we find it because we have type indexes that let
us know the type of any given bit in the bitmap by and-ing it with the
index.
3. The hash for its name: we can look it up from the name hash cache
in the new bitmap format.
4. Exclude flag: we never exclude when working with bitmaps
5. found_pack: all the bitmapped objects come from the same pack!
6. found_offset: we find it by simply looking up the `nth` offset on
the pack index (if we are yielding bit `n`)

Boom! We filled the callback just from the data in a bitmap. Ain't that nice?

Let me amend the commit message.
