- * A pathological example of how this thing works.
- *
- * Suppose we had this commit graph, where chronologically
- * the timestamp on the commit are A <= B <= C <= D <= E <= F
- * and we are trying to figure out the merge base for E and F
- * commits.
- *
- *                  F
- *                 / \
- *            E   A   D
- *             \ /   /
- *              B   /
- *               \ /
- *                C
- *
- * First we push E and F to list to be processed.  E gets bit 1
- * and F gets bit 2.  The list becomes:
- *
- *     list=F(2) E(1), result=empty
- *
- * Then we pop F, the newest commit, from the list.  Its flag is 2.
- * We scan its parents, mark them reachable from the side that F is
- * reachable from, and push them to the list:
- *
- *     list=E(1) D(2) A(2), result=empty
- *
- * Next pop E and do the same.
- *
- *     list=D(2) B(1) A(2), result=empty
- *
- * Next pop D and do the same.
- *
- *     list=C(2) B(1) A(2), result=empty
- *
- * Next pop C and do the same.
- *
- *     list=B(1) A(2), result=empty
- *
- * Now it is B's turn.  We mark its parent, C, reachable from B's side,
- * and push it to the list:
- *
- *     list=C(3) A(2), result=empty
- *
- * Now pop C and notice it has flags==3.  It is placed on the result list,
- * and the list now contains:
- *
- *     list=A(2), result=C(3)
- *
- * We pop A and do the same.
- *
- *     list=B(3), result=C(3)
- *
- * Next, we pop B and something very interesting happens.  It has flags==3
- * so it is also placed on the result list, and its parents are marked
- * stale, retroactively, and placed back on the list:
- *
- *    list=C(7), result=C(7) B(3)
- *
- * Now, list does not have any interesting commit.  So we find the newest
- * commit from the result list that is not marked stale.  Which is
- * commit B.
- *
- *
- * Another pathological example how this thing used to fail to mark an
- * ancestor of a merge base as STALE before we introduced the
- * postprocessing phase (mark_reachable_commits).
