From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@xxxxxxxxx> If a commit in a sequence of linear history has a non-monotonically increasing commit timestamp, git name-rev might not properly name the commit. This occurs because name-rev uses a heuristic of the commit date to avoid searching down tags which lead to commits that are older than the named commit. This is intended to avoid work on larger repositories. This heuristic impacts git name-rev, and by extension git describe --contains which is built on top of name-rev. Further more, if --annotate-stdin is used, the heuristic is not enabled because the full history has to be analyzed anyways. This results in some confusion if a user sees that --annotate-stdin works but a normal name-rev does not. If the repository has a commit graph, we can use the generation numbers instead of using the commit dates. This is essentially the same check except that generation numbers make it exact, where the commit date heuristic could be incorrect due to clock errors. Add a test case which covers this behavior and shows how the commit graph makes the name-rev process work.
