Yeah, you're right. bloom.c:bloom_filter_contains() is called repeatedly by check_maybe_different_in_bloom_filter() to see if all the bloom_keys[] appear to judge if it is possible that the path is changed by the commit. So if we wanted to extend in the way we discussed in the message you are respoinding to, revs->bloom_keys[] needs to become an array of bloom_keys[], one for each literal pathspec element, and then we can extend check_maybe_different_in_bloom_filter() to run the current logic for each literal pathspec element, and combine the results by ORing them. The way revision.c:release_revisions() releases the bloom keys also need to be updated.
