A big red button solution to avoid this would be to uprev the repository format version once you start writing v2 Bloom filters anywhere in the layers. That way, existing Git clients would not be able to touch it. I do not know if the cure is more severe than the disease in that case, though. In any case, at least, we should be able to prepare the code that we teach to grok v2 today so that they do not trigger the same segfault when they see a commit graph layer containing v3 Bloom filters (or later). Then we won't have to have the same conversation when we somehow need to update Bloom filters again.
