Nice!

Hmm, that "+ 1" makes me a bit nervous.  Can we be sure that path is not
an empty string?

And shouldn't we use is_dir_sep() or find_last_dir_sep() instead of
hard-coding a slash?

Same here, of course.

Also note that this puts shorter sub-strings first.

This checks shorter sub-strings first, contradicting the "deepest first"
strategy mentioned in the commit message.

This can easily be fixed by inverting the traversal of one of the loops,
of course.  Or perhaps do something like this?

	revs->bloom_keys = NULL;
	revs->bloom_keys_nr = 0;
	strbuf_add(&path, pi->match, pi->len);
	strbuf_trim_trailing_dir_sep(&path);
	for (;;) {
		const char *sep;
		ALLOC_GROW(revs->bloom_keys, revs->bloom_keys_nr + 1, alloc);
		fill_bloom_key(path.buf, path.len,
			       &revs->bloom_keys[revs->bloom_keys_nr++],
			       revs->bloom_filter_settings);
		sep = find_last_dir_sep(path.buf);
		if (!sep)
			break;
		strbuf_setlen(&path, sep - path.buf);
	}
	strbuf_release(&path);

The find_last_dir_sep() calls scan the first part of the string over and
over, which is a bit silly.  A strbuf_trim_trailing_path_component()
could start at the end and scan backwards if that turns out to be an
actual problem.

ALLOC_GROW wastes memory on revs->bloom_keys, and reallocating instead
of allocating the right size from the start has a cost as well, but I'd
expect this to be dwarfed by the actual revision walk.
