Expecting a reroll to finalize the topic.
I sent a V5 (1/9/2018) of this series that removed the config setting.
It looks like your branch on GH only has the V4 version.
WRT the reroll:
There was a long discussion on a limited calculation (option (2)).
While I appreciate how that would be nice to have (for some simple
cases -- like my current feature branch relative to my upstream),
I think that that is something we could add later if we want.
(*) This patch gives a simple on/off. This has value by itself for
certain situations.
(*) To implement a limit would involve hacking the merge-base
calculation which gets into graph shape questions that I don't
think we want to get into. Several messages in the thread talk
about some example shapes, but I don't think we have consensus on
what we want here.
(*) Later this week Stolee will be submitting a patch series that add
a client-side commit graph cache. This allows fast calculations
and includes generation numbers. I'd rather wait until we have
this in and then see if we want/need the limited option.
Thanks,
Jeff
