* - int *indegree_peek(struct indegree *, struct commit *);
*
* This function is similar to indegree_at(), but it will return NULL
- * until a call to indegree_at() was made for the commit.
+ * if the location to store the data associated with the given commit
+ * has not been allocated yet.
+ * Note that the location to store the data might have already been
+ * allocated even if no indegree_at() call has been made for that commit
+ * yet; in this case this function returns a pointer to a
+ * zero-initialized location.
*
* - void init_indegree(struct indegree *);
* void init_indegree_with_stride(struct indegree *, int);
*
* Call this function before the slab falls out of scope to avoid
* leaking memory.
+ *
+ * - void deep_clear_indegree(struct indegree *, void (*free_fn)(int*))
+ *
+ * Empties the slab, similar to clear_indegree(), but in addition it
+ * calls the given 'free_fn' for each slab entry to release any
+ * additional memory that might be owned by the entry (but not the
+ * entry itself!).
+ * Note that 'free_fn' might be called even for entries for which no
+ * indegree_at() call has been made; in this case 'free_fn' is invoked
+ * with a pointer to a zero-initialized location.
