That's a very interesting thought. To be honest, I'm not crazy about
generating our own Bloom filters that have special meaning (i.e., that
even though they are interpreted the same way as any other filter, they
are specially-crafted to carry a certain meaning). Your proposal also
means that commit-graph files are going to get bigger, which is
something that you may or may not care about.

On the other hand, it does get rid of the BFXL chunk, which certainly
isn't the most elegant thing.

I don't know. I think my biggest objection is the size: we use the BIDX
chunk today to avoid having to write the length-zero Bloom filters; your
scheme would force us to write every filter. On the other hand, we could
continue to avoid writing length-zero filters, so long as the
commit-graph indicates that it knows this optimization.

Stolee: what do you think?
