Could we have a performance test (in t/perf) demonstrating this?

The rev-list perf tests are found in t/perf/p0001-rev-list.sh

The "log --oneline --topo-order -1000" test would be good to add to 
t/perf/p4211-line-log.sh

The "branch -vv" test is pretty uninteresting unless you set up your 
repo to have local branches significantly behind the remote branches. It 
depends a lot more on the data shape than the others which only need a 
large number of reachable objects.

One reason I did not use the builtin perf test scripts is that they seem 
to ignore all local config options, and hence do not inherit the 
core.commitGraph=true setting from the repos pointed at by GIT_PERF_REPO.

Document what this function does? Also, this function probably needs a
better name.

The documentation above duplicates what's in the header file, so we can
probably omit it.

This doesn't seem to be used elsewhere - do you plan for a future patch
to use it?
