Very nice. I guess that any performance changes for when commit-graph
feature is not available are negligible / not measurable.
Rel % = (before - after)/before * 100%, isn't it?.
Good.

We use here weaker negative-cut criteria, which has the advantage of
simply automatic handling of special values: _INFINITY, _MAX, _ZERO.
Stronger version:
if A != B and A ---> B, then gen(A) > gen(B)
if gen(A) <= gen(B) and A != B, then A -/-> B
Weaker version:
if gen(A) < gen(B), then A -/-> B
If commit-graph feature is not available, then all generation numbers
would be _INFINITY, and cutoff would also be _INFINITY - which means
this operation is practically no-op. One memory access (probably from
cache) and one comparison is very cheap.
All right.

For each in wants, load generation numbers if needed and find lowest
one. Anything lower cannot reach any of wants. All right.
If commit-graph feature is not available, this is practically no-op. It
is fast, as it only accesses memory - it does not access disk, nor do it
needs to do any decompression, un-deltafication or parsing.
All right.

Those two just update callsite to new signatore. All right.
