Ouch. This definitely has to do with the empty commits, since swapping
out your 'git commit ... --allow-empty' for a 'test_commit' produces the
output that you'd expect.

> With '--split=replace' it appears to work as expected.

This is definitely the critical bit. The crux of the issue is that
'copy_oids_to_commits()' handles split and non-split graphs differently.
The critical bits here are:

  * 43d3561805 (commit-graph write: don't die if the existing graph is
    corrupt, 2019-03-25) which forces the relevant data to *not* be
    loaded from an existing commit-graph, and

  * 8a6ac287b2 (builtin/commit-graph.c: introduce split strategy
    'replace', 2020-04-13), which does load data from an existing
    commit-graph with '--split=replace'.

When writing a graph with '--split=replace', commits are loaded from the
graph, which includes setting their '->graph_pos' (or rather setting
this data in a commit slab, which is I guess how it's done these days).
Without '--split=replace', the graph position will never be set.

So, by the time we get to 'get_bloom_filter_large_in_graph', the graph
position is 'COMMIT_NOT_FROM_GRAPH', which in turn forces us to
recompute the filter from scratch, since we assume that being
'NOT_FROM_GRAPH' implies that we won't find it in any 'BFXL' chunk.

Regardless of whether or not we should be trusting the parentage
information on-disk, recomputing the Bloom filters from scratch is
simply too expensive (and the opposite of the point of this series). So,
doing the following to force 'get_bloom_filter_large_in_graph' to lookup
the Bloom and BFXL data in a commit graph by forcibly loading its graph
position is the right thing to do.

This is sufficient to get us unstuck:

diff --git a/commit-graph.c b/commit-graph.c

is a good idea to harden what you wrote in your t9999 into an actual
test to prevent against regression. I'll fold both of those into this
patch.

Thanks for the bug report. It led to an interesting investigation as a
result :).

Thanks,
