There's one other subtle change from v1 here. In my original, we called
try_to_simplify_commit() much later, and then we had to check whether it
marked the commit as TREESAME. That felt really hacky to me, and the
reason is because I was using the function wrong. The intent is for
try_to_simplify to be called earlier (i.e., here), when we start looking
at the commit's parents. And then the TREESAME flag it sets is later
picked up by get_commit_action(), which is called by simplify_commit(),
which is used later in get_revision_1().
So by calling try_to_simplify here, where it would normally be called
for a non-reflog walk, that's all we have to do. I don't think the
original patch had any visible bugs, but this way is much cleaner and
more future-proof.
