That approach will lose information when a root commit is at the
boundary, marked as uninteresting, or on the left/right side of
traversal (when --left-right is requested).  As these pieces of
information that will be lost with such an approach are a lot more
relevant than "have we hit the root?", especially in the majority of
repositories where there is only one root commit, I do not think it
is acceptable.
