The subject line tells "what", but you are missing a commit message body 
that gives the "why".  Details about the new feature, and how it is 
useful, go a long way to making the code easier to review.  How much of 
your cover letter should be here as well?

At a first glance, I'm just going to focus on the interface:

Missing a '(since 4.0)' tag.  And doesn't really explain what 
incremental mode in a mirroring operation actually means.

Can this be named just 'bitmap', instead of the longer 'bitmap-name'?
