My recollection is that only git-commit-tree and git-gui knew about this 
16 parent limit.

AFAIRC git-show-branch has a limit of 28 parents or so...

That's limit of the number of _tips_ to traverse from, and I do
not think it has anything to do with maximum size of Octopus.

But as Shawn pointed out, Octopus makes bisect less (much less)
efficient for the end users, I tend to think the current 16 is
already insanely large.
