Subject: [PATCH 4/9] commit-graph: document bloom filter format
Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2019 22:05:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3182a11f7c07af834ba71dc7861742458754eb91.1576879520.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.497.git.1576879520.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Garima Singh <garima.singh@microsoft.com>

Update the technical documentation for commit-graph-format with BIDX
and BDAT chunk information.

RFC Notes:
1. [Call for advice] We specifically mention that we are using bloom
   filters in this technical document. Should this document also be
   made open to other data structures in the future, with versioning
   information?

2. [Call for advice] We are also not describing the explicit nature
   of how we store the bloom filter binary data. Would it be useful
   to document details about the hash algorithm, the number of hashes
   and the specific seed values we are using in a separate document,
   or perhaps in a separate section in this document?
