Most code paths load commits using lookup_commit() and then
parse_commit(). In some cases, including some branch lookups, the commit
is parsed using parse_object_buffer() which side-steps parse_commit() in
favor of parse_commit_buffer().
With generation numbers in the commit-graph, we need to ensure that any
commit that exists in the commit-graph file has its generation number
loaded.
Create new load_commit_graph_info() method to fill in the information
for a commit that exists only in the commit-graph file. Call it from
parse_commit_buffer() after loading the other commit information from
the given buffer. Only fill this information when specified by the
'check_graph' parameter.

Define compare_commits_by_gen_then_commit_date(), which uses generation
numbers as a primary comparison and commit date to break ties (or as a
comparison when both commits do not have computed generation numbers).
Since the commit-graph file is closed under reachability, we know that
all commits in the file have generation at most GENERATION_NUMBER_MAX
which is less than GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY.
This change does not affect the number of commits that are walked during
the execution of paint_down_to_common(), only the order that those
commits are inspected. In the case that commit dates violate topological
order (i.e. a parent is "newer" than a child), the previous code could
walk a commit twice: if a commit is reached with the PARENT1 bit, but
later is re-visited with the PARENT2 bit, then that PARENT2 bit must be
propagated to its parents. Using generation numbers avoids this extra
effort, even if it is somewhat rare.

The generation number of a commit is defined recursively as follows:
* If a commit A has no parents, then the generation number of A is one.
* If a commit A has parents, then the generation number of A is one
more than the maximum generation number among the parents of A.
Add a uint32_t generation field to struct commit so we can pass this
information to revision walks. We use three special values to signal
the generation number is invalid:
GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY 0xFFFFFFFF
GENERATION_NUMBER_MAX 0x3FFFFFFF
GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO 0
The first (_INFINITY) means the generation number has not been loaded or
computed. The second (_MAX) means the generation number is too large to
store in the commit-graph file. The third (_ZERO) means the generation
number was loaded from a commit graph file that was written by a version
of git that did not support generation numbers.

If you have come this far, you probably have seen that this 'util'
pointer is used for many different purposes. Some are not even
contained in a command code, but buried deep in common code with no
clue who will use it and how.
The move to using commit-slab gives us a much better picture of how
some piece of data is associated with a commit and what for. Since
nobody uses 'util' pointer anymore, we can retire so that nobody will
abuse it again. commit-slab will be the way forward for associating
data to a commit.
As a side benefit, this shrinks struct commit by 8 bytes (on 64-bit
architecture) which should help reduce memory usage for reachability
test a bit. This is also what commit-slab is invented for [1].

This is yet another patch to be filed under the keyword "libification".
There is one subtle change in behavior here, where a `git log` that has
been asked to show the mergetags would now stop reporting the mergetags
upon the first failure, whereas previously, it would have continued to the
next mergetag, if any.
In practice, that change should not matter, as it is 1) uncommon to
perform octopus merges using multiple tags as merge heads, and 2) when the
user asks to be shown those tags, they really should be there.

The commit-graph file provides quick access to commit data, including
the OID of the root tree for each commit in the graph. When performing
a deep commit-graph walk, we may not need to load most of the trees
for these commits.
Delay loading the tree object for a commit loaded from the graph
until requested via get_commit_tree(). Do not lazy-load trees for
commits not in the graph, since that requires duplicate parsing
and the relative peformance improvement when trees are not needed
is small.
On the Linux repository, performance tests were run for the following
command:
git log --graph --oneline -1000
Before: 0.92s
After: 0.66s

Using the commit-graph file to walk commit history removes the large
cost of parsing commits during the walk. This exposes a performance
issue: lookup_tree() takes a large portion of the computation time,
even when Git never uses those trees.
In anticipation of lazy-loading these trees, rename the 'tree' member
of struct commit to 'maybe_tree'. This serves two purposes: it hints
at the future role of possibly being NULL even if the commit has a
valid tree, and it allows for unambiguous transformation from simple
member access (i.e. commit->maybe_tree) to method access.

Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).
So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.
By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.
As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

Instead of a custom commit walker like get_shallow_commits(), this new
function uses rev-list to mark NOT_SHALLOW to all reachable commits,
except borders. The definition of reachable is to be defined by the
protocol later. This makes it more flexible to define shallow boundary.
The way we find border is paint all reachable commits NOT_SHALLOW. Any
of them that "touches" commits without NOT_SHALLOW flag are considered
shallow (e.g. zero parents via grafting mechanism). Shallow commits and
their true parents are all marked SHALLOW. Then NOT_SHALLOW is removed
from shallow commits at the end.
There is an interesting observation. With a generic walker, we can
produce all kinds of shallow cutting. In the following graph, every
commit but "x" is reachable. "b" is a parent of "a".
x -- a -- o
/ /
x -- c -- b -- o
After this function is run, "a" and "c" are both considered shallow
commits. After grafting occurs at the client side, what we see is
a -- o
/
c -- b -- o
Notice that because of grafting, "a" has zero parents, so "b" is no
longer a parent of "a".
This is unfortunate and may be solved in two ways. The first is change
the way shallow grafting works and keep "a -- b" connection if "b"
exists and always ends at shallow commits (iow, no loose ends). This is
hard to detect, or at least not cheap to do.
The second way is mark one "x" as shallow commit instead of "a" and
produce this graph at client side:
x -- a -- o
/ /
c -- b -- o
More commits, but simpler grafting rules.

This output format prevents format-patch output from breaking
readers if somebody copy+pasted an mbox into a commit message.
Unlike the traditional "mboxo" format, "mboxrd" is designed to
be fully-reversible. "mboxrd" also gracefully degrades to
showing extra ">" in existing "mboxo" readers.
This degradation is preferable to breaking message splitting
completely, a problem I've seen in "mboxcl" due to having
multiple, non-existent, or inaccurate Content-Length headers.
"mboxcl2" is a non-starter since it's inherits the problems
of "mboxcl" while being completely incompatible with existing
tooling based around mailsplit.

When the local convention of the project is to use tab width that is
not 8, it may make sense to allow "git log --expand-tabs=<n>" to
tweak the output to match it.

A commit log message sometimes tries to line things up using tabs,
assuming fixed-width font with the standard 8-place tab settings.
Viewing such a commit however does not work well in "git log", as
we indent the lines by prefixing 4 spaces in front of them.
This should all line up:
Column 1 Column 2
-------- --------
A B
ABCD EFGH
SPACES Instead of Tabs
Even with multi-byte UTF8 characters:
Column 1 Column 2
-------- --------
Ä B
åäö 100
A Møøse once bit my sister..
Tab-expand the lines in "git log --expand-tabs" output before
prefixing 4 spaces.
This is based on the patch by Linus Torvalds, but at this step, we
require an explicit command line option to enable the behaviour.
