 (this branch uses ak/corrected-commit-date; is tangled with ds/chunked-file-api.)

 The code to implement "git merge-base --independent" was poorly
 done and was kept from the very beginning of the feature.

 Will merge to 'next'.

Please hold off until I can push a new version. There were
some meaningful updates to the new algorithm, but also there
is value in the old algorithm when the commit-graph does not
exist (and the heuristic doesn't answer quickly). I'll comment
more in that thread.

Thanks, will do.
