The optional 'Large Edge List' chunk of the commit graph file stores parent information for commits with more than two parents. Since the chunk is optional, write_commit_graph() looks through all commits to find those with more than two parents, and then writes the commit graph file header accordingly, i.e. if there are no such commits, then there won't be a 'Large Edge List' chunk written, only the three mandatory chunks. However, when it comes to writing chunk data, write_commit_graph() unconditionally invokes write_graph_chunk_large_edges(), even when it was decided earlier that that chunk won't be written. Strictly speaking there is no bug here, because write_graph_chunk_large_edges() won't write anything because it won't find any commits with more than two parents, but then it unnecessarily and in vain looks through all commits once again in search for such commits. Don't call write_graph_chunk_large_edges() when that chunk won't be written to spare an unnecessary iteration over all commits.
