/*
 * A pathological example of how this thing works.
 *
 * Suppose we had this commit graph, where chronologically
 * the timestamp on the commit are A <= B <= C <= D <= E <= F
 * and we are trying to figure out the merge base for E and F
 * commits.
 *
 *                  F
 *                 / \
 *            E   A   D
 *             \ /   /  
 *              B   /
 *               \ /
 *                C
 *
 * First we push E and F to list to be processed.  E gets bit 1
 * and F gets bit 2.  The list becomes:
 *
 *     list=F(2) E(1), result=empty
 *
 * Then we pop F, the newest commit, from the list.  Its flag is 2.
 * We scan its parents, mark them reachable from the side that F is
 * reachable from, and push them to the list:
 *
 *     list=E(1) D(2) A(2), result=empty
 *
 * Next pop E and do the same.
 *
 *     list=D(2) B(1) A(2), result=empty
 *
 * Next pop D and do the same.
 *
 *     list=C(2) B(1) A(2), result=empty
 *
 * Next pop C and do the same.
 *
 *     list=B(1) A(2), result=empty
 *
 * Now it is B's turn.  We mark its parent, C, reachable from B's side,
 * and push it to the list:
 *
 *     list=C(3) A(2), result=empty
 *
 * Now pop C and notice it has flags==3.  It is placed on the result list,
 * and the list now contains:
 *
 *     list=A(2), result=C(3)
 *
 * We pop A and do the same.
 * 
 *     list=B(3), result=C(3)
 *
 * Next, we pop B and something very interesting happens.  It has flags==3
 * so it is also placed on the result list, and its parents are marked
 * uninteresting, retroactively, and placed back on the list:
 *
 *    list=C(7), result=C(7) B(3)
 * 
 * Now, list does not have any interesting commit.  So we find the newest
 * commit from the result list that is not marked uninteresting.  Which is
 * commit B.
 *
 *
 * Another pathological example how this thing can fail to mark an ancestor
 * of a merge base as UNINTERESTING without the postprocessing phase.
