 Instead of scanning for the remaining items to see if there are
 still commits to be explored in the queue, use khash to remember
 which items are still on the queue (an unacceptable alternative is
 to reserve one object flag bits).

Please keep it in seen for now -- Peff's proposal to use an oidset
instead looks promising.  I'll do some more measurements over the next
few days and report back.

Thanks for digging into it further. I am not terribly opposed to what
you sent earlier, and most of my responses were veering pretty far
off-topic. But if we can get away with using oidset here for the same
performance, I think the simplicity is worth it.
