Furthermore, the filter also allows future iterations which build on top
of this. If we had a combined OR filter in addition to the existing
combined AND filter, the user could say "Give me all blobs which aren't
bigger than a specific size PLUS all trees with a depth smaller than 5
PLUS all commits and tags". It's not like I'd know of a specific usecase
for this right now, but I think the potential of having such filters in
the future is a plus.

Yeah, that's true. My biggest complaint is lack of an OR filter, but we
could add that later. And then we would be _more_ flexible, as you note,
since we could and/or more filters.

So I'm OK proceeding with this direction.

I think the only remaining issues are the comments on 5/8 on tests,
then?  Hopefully we can have one more iteration to finalize the
topic and merge it down to 'next'?

Thanks.
