Simplify the filter execution data logic and structs by putting all

Hmmm...

  };

I am hoping that I am not misreading the intention but you do not
plan to use the above so that you can say "apply 'tree:depth=4' and
'blobs:limit=1G' at the same time" by filling the fields in a single
struct, do you?  For combined filter, you'll still have multiple
instances of filter_data struct, strung together in a list that says
"all of these must be satisfied" or something like that, right?

And if that is the case, I am not sure why the above "struct with
all these fields" is a good idea.  If these three (and probably we
will have more as the system evolves) sets of fields in this outer
struct for different filters were enclosed in a union, that would be
a different story, though.


I'm not sure I like the combined structure as proposed.
But let's think about it.

I think part of problem with my original version was putting the
filter_fn and filter_free_fn in the traversal_context rather than
inside the filter_*_data structure.

I did a simple combined structure for the list_objects_filter_options
and kind of regretted it because it wasn't obvious which data fields
were defined or undefined in each filter constructor.  But it was
convenient when parsing the command line.

I think having a combined structure with a union enclosing a structure
for the data fields in each filter type would be worth considering.
That way you have a somewhat self-documenting sub-structure for each
filter type that indicates which fields are defined.

I'd also suggest keeping the "oidset omits" inside each of the
sub-structures, but that's just me.


BTW, I don't see a free_fn.  That may collapse out with your proposal
but I wanted to ask.

Thanks
