I spent some time implementing this (patches are available in the branch
'tb/path-filter-fix-upgrade' from my fork). Handling incompatible Bloom
filter versions is kind of tricky, but do-able without having to
implement too much on top of what's already there.

But I don't think that it's enough to say that we can reuse a commit's
Bloom filter iff that commit's tree has no paths with characters >=
0x80. Suppose we have such a tree, whose Bloom filter we believe to be
reusable. If its first parent *does* have such a path, then that path
would appear as a deletion relative to its first parent. So that path
*would* be in the filter, meaning that it isn't reusable.

So I think the revised condition is something like: a commit's Bloom
filter is reusable when there are no paths with characters >= 0x80 in
a tree-diff against its first parent. I think that ensuring that there
are no such paths in both a commit's root tree, as well as its first
parent's root tree is equivalent, since that removes the possibility of
such a path showing up in its tree-diff.

As long as we aren't generating a commit-graph with --stdin-packs, then
we process commits in generation order, so we will see parents before
their children. I think we could reuse existing filters in that case,
but the condition is slightly more complex than I originally thought.

Thanks,
Taylor
