When running 'git branch --contains', the in_merge_bases_many()
method calls paint_down_to_common() to discover if a specific
commit is reachable from a set of branches. Commits with lower
generation number are not needed to correctly answer the
containment query of in_merge_bases_many().
Add a new parameter, min_generation, to paint_down_to_common() that
prevents walking commits with generation number strictly less than
min_generation. If 0 is given, then there is no functional change.
For in_merge_bases_many(), we can pass commit->generation as the
cutoff, and this saves time during 'git branch --contains' queries
that would otherwise walk "around" the commit we are inspecting.
For a copy of the Linux repository, where HEAD is checked out at
v4.13~100, we get the following performance improvement for
'git branch --contains' over the previous commit:
Before: 0.21s
After: 0.13s
Rel %: -38%
