[PATCH v3 12/16] commit-graph: add --changed-paths option to write subcommand

["Garima Singh via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Garima Singh <garima.singh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add --changed-paths option to git commit-graph write. This option will
allow users to compute information about the paths that have changed
between a commit and its first parent, and write it into the commit graph
file. If the option is passed to the write subcommand we set the
COMMIT_GRAPH_WRITE_BLOOM_FILTERS flag and pass it down to the
commit-graph logic.

 With the `--append` option, include all commits that are present in the
 existing commit-graph file.

+With the `--changed-paths` option, compute and write information about the
+paths changed between a commit and it's first parent. This operation can
+take a while on large repositories. It provides significant performance gains
+for getting history of a directory or a file with `git log -- <path>`.

 With the `--split` option, write the commit-graph as a chain of multiple
 commit-graph files stored in `<dir>/info/commit-graphs`. The new commits
 not already in the commit-graph are added in a new "tip" file. This file
