I've put some more time into this. If rebased on top of v4 of [1], then
we can also use `parse_commit_in_graph_gently()` to further speed this
up from 15.8 seconds to 11.6 seconds with below patch. It's the same
memory/speed tradeoff as I'm doing in [1].

I guess I'd still like to treat both series separately for now given
that [1] is more involved compared to this patch series here. I'll then
do a follow-up when (if?) both series have landed.
