[PATCH v2 2/6] revision: expose check for paths maybe changed in Bloom filter

From: Toon Claes <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-07 18:27:24
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

check_maybe_different_in_bloom_filter() looks up a commit's changed-path
Bloom filter and consults it to see whether the commit might have
modified any of the paths in the pathspec that `revs` was set up with.
In a follow-up commit we want to reuse this logic from another builtin.

That caller, however, has already looked up the commit's Bloom filter
for its own purposes, so having the function look it up again would mean
a redundant lookup.

Extract the filter-consulting part into a new public function,
revs_maybe_changed_in_bloom(). This function takes an already looked-up
`struct bloom_filter` instead of a commit.
The existing check_maybe_different_in_bloom_filter() becomes a thin
wrapper that looks up the filter and delegates.

Expose the new function via revision.h so other builtins can reuse the
exact same filtering that `git log <pathspec>` performs.

The existing function check_maybe_different_in_bloom_filter() returns a
tristate value. This returns either:

 * `-1` : No Bloom filter was used.
 *  `0` : The commit definitely did not change any of the paths.
 *  `1` : The commit maybe changed one of the paths.

These return values are used to keep count of false-positives. But
because the new function revs_maybe_changed_in_bloom() is not involved
in counting statistics, it returns a boolean value telling whether the
commit definitely did not change any of the paths, or maybe changed some
of them.
