> One issue when working in open source is that contributors don't have control over the release cycle, and review requires smaller series than having the feature be delivered all at once.

Yes, my reply was unnecessarily disparaging. Overall this looks like a cool feature. Perhaps a stopgap solution if for those commands to just delete your cache. But then your repository will get mysteriously slower. I just need to think of this as a technology demonstration.

The good news is that if you are using shallow clones, then you probably don’t have enough commits locally to need the commit-graph feature!
Off topic: considering you've left BitKeeper and you were one of the most active developers in user forum, what's the status of BitKeeper? Is it still developed* or it's in maintenance mode for existing commercial clients?

* yes, it's open source, but being open source and "you can add any feature yourself" doesn't imply there is a momentum behind and a kind of "directed" force to move it forward
