We had some home-grown logic to figure out which objects to show during
the revision walk, but it was rather inefficient, looking over the same
list multiple times to figure out when we had run out of interesting
commits. We now use the lists in a smarter way.
We also introduce the slop mechanism to determine when to stpo
looking. When we run out of interesting objects, we continue preparing
the walk for another 5 rounds in order to make it less likely that we
miss objects in situations with complex graphs.
We moved the "main" parsing to use 64 bits for the timestamp, but the
quick parsing for the revwalk did not. This means that for large
timestamps we fail to parse the time and thus the walk.
Move this parser to use 64 bits as well.
If the pqueue comparison fn returned just 0 or 1 (think "a<b")
then the sort order of returned items could be wrong because there
was a "< 0" that really needed to be "<= 0". Yikes!!!
