This is already explained in detail in the patch 'commit-graph: add large-filters bitmap chunk', although there is an error in the quoted part of your email (which I wrote) which refers the reader to the previous patch. The patch I'm actually referring two is the twice-previous patch.

I'll fix that locally before re-sending.
