Wow, I have no idea how this got sent out without a commit message! At
least it was signed off ;-).

Here's a replacement that I cooked up, with your Helped-by. Let me know
if you want to replace this patch manually, or if you'd prefer a reroll
of the series. Either is fine with me! :-)

Subject: [PATCH] builtin/repack.c: treat string_list_item util as booleans

The `->util` field corresponding to each string_list_item used to track
the existence of some pack at the beginning of a repack operation was
originally intended to be used as a bitfield.

This bitfield tracked:

  - (1 << 0): whether or not the pack should be deleted
  - (1 << 1): whether or not the pack is cruft

The previous commit removed the use of the second bit, meaning that we
can treat this field as a boolean instead of a bitset.
