 "git merge-tree" learned "--write-pack" to record its result
 without creating loose objects.

 Broken when an object created during a merge is needed to continue merge

Let's drop this one.

* tb/pair-chunk-expect (2023-11-10) 8 commits
 - midx: read `OOFF` chunk with `pair_chunk_expect()`
 - midx: read `OIDL` chunk with `pair_chunk_expect()`
 - commit-graph: read `BIDX` chunk with `pair_chunk_expect()`
 - commit-graph: read `GDAT` chunk with `pair_chunk_expect()`
 - commit-graph: read `CDAT` chunk with `pair_chunk_expect()`
 - commit-graph: read `OIDL` chunk with `pair_chunk_expect()`
 - chunk-format: introduce `pair_chunk_expect()` helper
 - Merge branch 'jk/chunk-bounds-more' into HEAD

 Further code clean-up.

 Needs review.

This one is on my list of things to look at, but probably not something
that I'll get to urgently before I've had a chance to clear my holiday
backlog. If you don't mind keeping it, that's fine, but I won't be upset
if it's easier to drop from 'seen' in the meantime.

* tb/path-filter-fix (2023-10-18) 17 commits
 - bloom: introduce `deinit_bloom_filters()`
 - commit-graph: reuse existing Bloom filters where possible
 - object.h: fix mis-aligned flag bits table
 - commit-graph: drop unnecessary `graph_read_bloom_data_context`
 - commit-graph.c: unconditionally load Bloom filters
 - bloom: prepare to discard incompatible Bloom filters
 - bloom: annotate filters with hash version
 - commit-graph: new filter ver. that fixes murmur3
 - repo-settings: introduce commitgraph.changedPathsVersion
 - t4216: test changed path filters with high bit paths
 - t/helper/test-read-graph: implement `bloom-filters` mode
 - bloom.h: make `load_bloom_filter_from_graph()` public
 - t/helper/test-read-graph.c: extract `dump_graph_info()`
 - gitformat-commit-graph: describe version 2 of BDAT
 - commit-graph: ensure Bloom filters are read with consistent settings
 - revision.c: consult Bloom filters for root commits
 - t/t4216-log-bloom.sh: harden `test_bloom_filters_not_used()`

 The Bloom filter used for path limited history traversal was broken
 on systems whose "char" is unsigned; update the implementation and
 bump the format version to 2.

 Expecting a reroll.

I was confused by this one, since I couldn't figure out which tests
Gábor was referring to here. I responded in [1], but haven't heard back
since the end of October.

I personally think that this is ready to go, and it would be nice to get
it out of the perpetual "cooking" state that it's in. So if Gábor is
around to reply and I'm indeed missing something, that would be great.
But in the meantime, I think that this is ready to go.

Thanks,
Taylor
