Subject: [PATCH v6 2/3] pack-bitmap: reword comments in test_bitmap_commits()

From: Lidong Yan <[email-masked]>

The comment in pack-bitmap.c:test_bitmap_commits(), suggests that
we can avoid reading the commit table altogether. However, this
comment is misleading. The reason we load bitmap entries here is
because test_bitmap_commits() needs to print the commit IDs from the
bitmap, and we must read the bitmap entries to obtain those commit IDs.
So reword this comment.
