In the meantime, while chatting to a colleague about the birthday

I had a look at the code and documentation, but there isn't much there
about our Bloom filter implementation. A chalk talk could later be used
in the same manner as the packfile discussion to show what the filters do?

If there is someone who'd like to talk through what the Bloom filters
are doing in Git then I'd be all ears.
