Good idea.

All right; also, it doesn't need to be exact, though it would be good if
it was.

512 changed paths (changed files) usually generate more than 512
elements to be added to the Bloom filter (changed directories and
files), anyway.

I wonder if there is some large open-source project with many commits
performing tree-wide changes, that is with many commits with more than
512 changed files with respect to the first parent.

Maybe https://github.com/whosonfirst-data/whosonfirst-data-venue-us-ny
from "Top Ten Worst Repositories to host on GitHub - Git Merge 2017"
could be a good repository to test ;-)

Looks good to me, but that is from cursory examination.
Don't know the area to say anything more.
