I understand what you're looking for here, but I worry that '--filter' might be too leaky of an abstraction. I was a little surprised to learn that you can clone a repository with --filter=object:type=tree (excluding commits), but it does work. I'm fine reusing a lot of the object filtering code if it makes this an easier task, but I think it may be worthwhile to hide this new kind of filter from upload-pack. > - Given that above usecase requires two filters (the object type > and blob size filters), bitmap filters were extended to support > combined filters. Nice. We didn't do this since the only previously supported filters were blob:none and tree:0 (the latter implying the former), so there was no need. Thanks, Taylor
