I have no major complaints about the contents of this patch (except lack
of test, and type of total_bloom_filter_data_size), but the commit
message could have been worded better.

I would write something like this instead:

  Add new COMMIT_GRAPH_WRITE_CHANGED_PATHS flag that makes Git compute
  Bloom filters that store the information about changed paths (that
  changed between a commit and its first parent) for each commit in the
  commit-graph.  This computation is done on a commit-by-commit basis.

  We will write these Bloom filters to the commit-graph file, to store
  this data on disk, in the next change in this series.

In my opinion the fact that we compute Bloom filters for each and every
commit in the commit-graph file is more important than quite obvious
fact that we use implementation from bloom.c.

It would be good to have at least sanity check of this feature, perhaps
one that would check that the number of per-commit Bloom filters on slab
matches the number of commits in the commit-graph.

It could look something like this:

  test_expect_success 'create Bloom filters for all commit-graph commits' '
  	# create commit-graph with 2 commits
  	git rev-parse HEAD HEAD^ | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits &&
  	# generate Bloom filters for commit-graph commits
  	cat >commands <<\-EOF &&
  	add-graph-commits
  	filters-count
  	EOF
  	NUM_FILTERS=$(git test-tool bloom <commands) %%
  	test "$NUM_FILTERS" -eq 2
  '

All right, this flag will be used for handling future `--changed-paths`
option to the `git commit-graph write`.

This is total size of Bloom filters data, in bytes, that will later be
used for BDAT chunk size.  However the commit-graph format uses 8 bytes
for byte-offset, not 4 bytes.  Why it is uint32_t and not uint64_t then?

Shouldn't we initialize ctx->total_bloom_filter_data_size to 0 here?  We
cannot use compute_bloom_filters() to _update_ Bloom filters data, I
think -- we don't distinguish here between new and existing data (where
existing data size is already included in total Bloom filters size).  At
least I don't think so.

Here we process commit in whatever order commits are in the
commits.list, which probably means lexicographical order, in practice
random order.

All right.

All right.


Side note: perhaps we could add trailing comma after new enum entry,
that is

  +	COMMIT_GRAPH_WRITE_BLOOM_FILTERS = (1 << 4),

following new CodingGuidelines recommendation

 - We try to support a wide range of C compilers to compile Git with,
   including old ones.  You should not use features from newer C
   standard, even if your compiler groks them.

   There are a few exceptions to this guideline:

   . since early 2012 with e1327023ea, we have been using an enum
     definition whose last element is followed by a comma.  This, like
     an array initializer that ends with a trailing comma, can be used
     to reduce the patch noise when adding a new identifier at the end.
