Yup, "updates to the remote-tracking ref".

Thanks for pointing it out.

Yes, exactly.

That was before you suggested to cut the reflog traversal using the
reflog timestamp.  The code in earlier rounds of this series wanted
to read the reflog entries all the way down to the beginning of time,
and it made sense to batch in order to limit the traversal.

Now we found out that using only the local reflog entries more
recent than the latest update to the remote-tracking branch, and
because these local reflog entries will already be read in the above
code anyway, I do not see a point in batching.

Even if we were to batch calls to git_merge_bases_many(), it won't
happen in the quoted part of the code, where it first tries to see
any of the recent local reflog entries directly point at the object
with oideq().  While it is doing so, the only thing it does for the
later merge-base phase is to collect them in local_commits[] array.
Chunking can, if desired, be done by carving the array into pieces
and calling git_merge_bases_many() in is_reachable_in_reflog()
function.

Thanks for a careful review.
