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 --all or --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.
Since we're extending the notion of cutoff to more than one variable,
create a series of functions for setting and checking the cutoff. This
avoids duplication and moves access of the global cutoff and
generation_cutoff to as few functions as possible.
Add several test cases including coverage of --all, --annotate-stdin,
and the normal case with the cutoff heuristic, both with and without
commit graphs enabled.

Changes since v1:
* Extract all accesses to generation_cutoff and cutoff into helper
functions. This way only the helper functions access the global variables
* Add several tests to cover all the behavior with and without commit graphs
* Apply Stolee's suggestion of checking generation_cutoff is zero so that we
can avoid unnecessarily accessing the commit graph data.
