[PATCH v2 09/10] commit-reach: use corrected commit dates in paint_down_to_common()

["Abhishek Kumar via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Abhishek Kumar <abhishekkumar8222@gmail.com>

With corrected commit dates implemented, we no longer have to rely on
commit date as a heuristic in paint_down_to_common().

t6024-recursive-merge setups a unique repository where all commits have
the same committer date without well-defined merge-base. As this has
already caused problems (as noted in 859fdc0 (commit-graph: define
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH, 2018-08-29)), we disable commit graph within the
test script.
