Hi,

this is version 3 of my patch series to more readily detect commits
parsed from the commit graph which are missing in the object database.

Changes compared to v2:

    - Rewrote the help text for `GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA` to be more
      accessible.

    - Renamed the `object_paranoia` variable to `commit_graph_paranoia`.

    - Fixed a typo.

Thanks!

Patrick
