@Peff, as far I could tell:
* This change was not needed to be able to use the Bloom filters with
the pathspec.
* Only restoring bloom_filter_settings was needed. In your patch you're
calling prepare_to_use_bloom_filter(), but that is being called by
prepare_revision_walk(). Thus the restoring of the filter settings
I've added after that function.
