OK, I feel even better knowing that you and I both agree on the cause of
this buglet ;-).

This also makes me think that this has probably existed since the
beginning of commit-graphs, and that it only became easier to tickle in
recent releases with things like '--split=no-merge'.

Yeah; that sounds much better.

Sounds good. I'm certainly on board, but I want to hear what others
think, too.

I thought that we had a configuration variable to control whether or not
we write changed-path Bloom filters, so I was going to ask about what we
should do if that was set to false, and the caller passed
'--changed-paths'. But, I guess that my memory was wrong, since I
couldn't find such a variable to begin with (we _do_ have
'commitGraph.readChangedPaths', but since that only controls reading no
additional special care has to be taken).

Thanks for working on this.
