[PATCH] three --merge-order bug fixes
This patch fixes three bugs in --merge-order support
* mark_ancestors_uninteresting was unnecessarily exponential which
caused a problem when a commit with no parents was merged near the
head of something like the linux kernel
* removed a spurious statement from find_base which wasn't
apparently causing problems now, but wasn't correct either.
* removed an unnecessarily strict check from find_base_for_list
that causes a problem if git-rev-list commit ^parent-of-commit
is specified.
* added some unit tests which were accidentally omitted from
original merge-order patch
The fix to mark_ancestors_uninteresting isn't an optimal fix - a full
graph scan will still be performed in this case even though it is
not strictly required. However, a full graph scan is linear
and still no worse than git-rev-list HEAD which runs in less than 2
seconds on a warm cache.
