Hmm. Why a date-based hack to see what's on the topic branch? Why not
just give an option to walk the graph twice, giving name-rev style
annotations, and just let it be slow. People will mostly look at it by
specifying just their topic branches anyway. IOW:

  git log ^origin/master my/topic1 my/topic2 my/topic3

And obviously you could split the "these are the commits to annotate"
specification from "these are the commits to show". But I actually think
in practice most users would want those to be the same.
