Re: [PATCH] Additional merge-base tests

Hi,

However, I am not sure how you are going to use that maximumSkew

My idea was to continue traversing the merge base's ancestors, marking 
them UNINTERESTING, until hitting a commit which is maximumSkew older than 
the merge base (and not just stop at the merge base, as is the case right 
now, and neither continue traversing in eternity like suggested).

This would not help _evil_ cases (i.e. intentional), but most certainly 
your regular clock skew in a Microsoft network.
