I'd prefer to leave the test cases unchanged, and make the revision
walking machinery look at Bloom filters even for root commits, because
this is an annoying and recurring testing issue.  I remember it
annoyed me back then, when I wanted to reproduce a couple of bugs that
I knew were there, but my initial test cases didn't fail because the
Bloom filter of the root commit was ignored; Derrick overlooked this
in b16a8277644, you overlooked it now, and none of the reviewers then
and now caught it, either.

In the meantime I adapted the test cases from the above linked message
to write commit-graph layers with different Bloom filter versions, and
it does fail, because commits from the bottom commit-graph layer are
omitted from the revision walk's output.  And the test case doesn't
even need a middle layer without modified path Bloom filters to "hide"
the different version in the bottom layer.  Merging the layers seems
to work, though.

Besides fixing this issue, I think that the interaction of different
Bloom filter versions and split commit-graphs needs to be thoroughly
covered with test cases and discussed in the commit messages before
this series could be considered good for merging.
