Let me know when you can give numbers (either raw performance or # of 
commits walked) for real-world Git commit graphs. The Linux repo is a 
good example to use for benchmarking, but I also use the Kotlin repo 
sometimes as it has over a million objects and over 250K commits.

Of course, the only important statistic at the end of the day is the 
end-to-end time of a 'git ...' command. Your investigations should 
inform whether it is worth prototyping the feature in the git codebase.
