FWIW, that word is "dumB" loop, if you are including the word in your updated version. But I am still wondering if this can be unconditionally turned on any time --missing=... is used. Have you considered it? If we can do that, it would eliminate the need for that extra broken loop that will fail with "git rev-list --grep --allow-missing-tips -20 HEAD".
