reflog_expiry_prepare() calls mark_reachable(), which recurively flags commits as REACHABLE. The traversal stops beyond a certain age threshold; the boundary commits also marked as REACHABLE and put back into mark_list at the end. unreachable() finishes the traversal down to the roots if necessary -- but if all interesting commits are younger than the age threshold then only recent commits need to be visited. When this optimization works then the boundary commits still sit there in mark_list at the end. Clear their REACHABLE flag and release the commit list allocations. While at it remove a duplicate code line from mark_reachable(); the same flag is already set five lines up.
