So, I'd say, since the current code does not and cannot work reliably

then why not simplify the convolution and make the code rock-steady (and
implement my patch)?
The current 'next' branch in git.git contains your patch with my fixup
on top and I believe this fixes _both_ the original issue with
first-parent (thanks to your patch) and the issue Nanako discovered
(thanks to my patch). Am I missing something?
