Yeah, I agree that this patch does not make a judgement on particular
workflows, and can stand on its own. I buried a related deep in a
footnote in my other email, so let me bring it up again here.

I am not entirely convinced this won't bite somebody who gets a sha1
from some other source, and then wants to run:

  git log $some_other_sha1

who might be quite confused to start a first-parent traversal from
somewhere other than the tip of "master" or the tip of a topic branch.
