// Git commit graph format
// =======================
//
// The Git commit graph stores a list of commit OIDs and some associated
// metadata, including:
//
-// - The generation number of the commit. Commits with no parents have
-// generation number 1; commits with parents have generation number
-// one more than the maximum generation number of its parents. We
-// reserve zero as special, and can be used to mark a generation
-// number invalid or as "not computed".

-// number of commits (N).
-//
-// OID Lookup (ID: {'O', 'I', 'D', 'L'}) (N * H bytes)
-// The OIDs for all commits in the graph, sorted in ascending order.
-//
-// Commit Data (ID: {'C', 'D', 'A', 'T' }) (N * (H + 16) bytes)
-// * The first H bytes are for the OID of the root tree.
-// * The next 8 bytes are for the positions of the first two parents
-// of the ith commit. Stores value 0x7000000 if no parent in that
-// position. If there are more than two parents, the second value
-// has its most-significant bit on and the other bits store an array
-// position into the Extra Edge List chunk.
-// * The next 8 bytes store the generation number of the commit and
-// the commit time in seconds since EPOCH. The generation number
-// uses the higher 30 bits of the first 4 bytes, while the commit
-// time uses the 32 bits of the second 4 bytes, along with the lowest
-// 2 bits of the lowest byte, storing the 33rd and 34th bit of the
-// commit time.
-//
-// Extra Edge List (ID: {'E', 'D', 'G', 'E'}) [Optional]
-// This list of 4-byte values store the second through nth parents for
-// all octopus merges. The second parent value in the commit data stores
-// an array position within this list along with the most-significant bit
-// on. Starting at that array position, iterate through this list of commit
-// positions for the parents until reaching a value with the most-significant
-// bit on. The other bits correspond to the position of the last parent.
