I believe so.  I don't recall any further discussions on it.

The only open question was the idea of trying to walk 100 or so
commits and see if one was "close" to being an ancestor of the
other, but we thought that Stolee's graph cache would be a better
solution for that.

So, yes, I think it is ready for 'next'.
