Nice! Incorporated in v3. Thanks!

The combination of all the e2e tests in this series with the test
flag being turned on in the CI, and the performance gains we are seeing
confirm that this is happening correctly.

Changed to size_t. Thanks for noticing!

This line in commit-graph.c takes care of reinitializing the graph context and
by consequence the bloom filter data size. 
  ctx = xcalloc(1, sizeof(struct write_commit_graph_context));
  
So the total size gets recalculated every time, which is correct.

Thanks! Fixed in v3.
