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,

it serves the purpose to not walk the graph twice actually, but indeed
twice is not _that_ bad.

Sure, and that is reasonable. But I think the real goal is "give this
information in a not-painfully slow manner". So if we can do it by
walking a smaller graph twice, I think that is OK, too.

Well, I was just thinking quickly during jetlag-induced insomnia. I
don't really care about the issue that much actually.

Heh. I have to admit I don't care enough to work on this personally,
either. I just _thought_ Linus was working on it, but I think what he is
doing is subtly different, and our discussion has diverged to something
that, if it ever came to pass, would be a separate feature.
