  22 * A pathological example of how this thing works.
  23 *
  24 * Suppose we had this commit graph, where chronologically
  25 * the timestamp on the commit are A <= B <= C <= D <= E <= F
  26 * and we are trying to figure out the merge base for E and F
  27 * commits.
  28 *
  29 *                  F
  30 *                 / \
  31 *            E   A   D
  32 *             \ /   /  
  33 *              B   /
  34 *               \ /
  35 *                C
  36 *
  37 * First we push E and F to list to be processed.  E gets bit 1
  38 * and F gets bit 2.  The list becomes:
  39 *
  40 *     list=F(2) E(1), result=empty
  41 *
  42 * Then we pop F, the newest commit, from the list.  Its flag is 2.
  43 * We scan its parents, mark them reachable from the side that F is
  44 * reachable from, and push them to the list:
  45 *
  46 *     list=E(1) D(2) A(2), result=empty
  47 *
  48 * Next pop E and do the same.
  49 *
  50 *     list=D(2) B(1) A(2), result=empty
  51 *
  52 * Next pop D and do the same.
  53 *
  54 *     list=C(2) B(1) A(2), result=empty
  55 *
  56 * Next pop C and do the same.
  57 *
  58 *     list=B(1) A(2), result=empty
  59 *
  60 * Now it is B's turn.  We mark its parent, C, reachable from B's side,
  61 * and push it to the list:
  62 *
  63 *     list=C(3) A(2), result=empty
  64 *
  65 * Now pop C and notice it has flags==3.  It is placed on the result list,
  66 * and the list now contains:
  67 *
  68 *     list=A(2), result=C(3)
  69 *
  70 * We pop A and do the same.
  71 * 
  72 *     list=B(3), result=C(3)
  73 *
  74 * Next, we pop B and something very interesting happens.  It has flags==3
  75 * so it is also placed on the result list, and its parents are marked
  76 * uninteresting, retroactively, and placed back on the list:
  77 *
  78 *    list=C(7), result=C(7) B(3)
  79 * 
  80 * Now, list does not have any interesting commit.  So we find the newest
  81 * commit from the result list that is not marked uninteresting.  Which is
  82 * commit B.
  83 *
  84 *
  85 * Another pathological example how this thing used to fail to mark an
  86 * ancestor of a merge base as UNINTERESTING before we introduced the
  87 * postprocessing phase (mark_reachable_commits).

 106 *       F2 E1 B1 A2            2 1 - - 1 2 1 2
 107 *       E3 B1 A2               2 1 - - 3 2 1 2
 108 *       B1 A2                  2 1 - - 3 2 1 2
 109 *       C1 A2                  2 1 1 - 3 2 1 2
 110 *       D1 A2                  2 1 1 1 3 2 1 2
 111 *       A2                     2 1 1 1 3 2 1 2
 112 *       B3                     2 3 1 1 3 2 1 2
 113 *       C7                     2 3 7 1 3 2 1 2
 114 *
 115 * At this point, unfortunately, everybody in the list is
 116 * uninteresting, so we fail to complete the following two
 117 * steps to fully marking uninteresting commits.
 118 *
 119 *       D7                     2 3 7 7 3 2 1 2
 120 *       E7                     2 3 7 7 7 2 1 2
 121 *
 122 * and we ended up showing E as an interesting merge base.
 123 * The postprocessing phase re-injects C and continues traversal
 124 * to contaminate D and E.
