/*
 * Finds the base commit of a list of commits.
 *
 * One property of the commit being searched for is that every commit reachable
 * from the base commit is reachable from the commits in the starting list only
 * via paths that include the base commit.
 *
 * This algorithm uses a conservation of mass approach to find the base commit.
 *
 * We start by injecting one unit of mass into the graph at each
 * of the commits in the starting list. Injecting mass into a commit
 * is achieved by adding to its pending mass counter and, if it is not already
 * enqueued, enqueuing the commit in a list of pending commits, in latest
 * commit date first order.
 *
 * The algorithm then proceeds to visit each commit in the pending queue.
 * Upon each visit, the pending mass is added to the mass already seen for that
 * commit and then divided into N equal portions, where N is the number of
 * parents of the commit being visited. The divided portions are then injected
 * into each of the parents.
 *
 * The algorithm continues until we discover a commit which has seen all the
 * mass originally injected or until we run out of things to do.
 *
 * If we find a commit that has seen all the original mass, we have found
 * the common base of all the commits in the starting list.
 *
 * The algorithm does _not_ depend on accurate timestamps for correct operation.
 * However, reasonably sane (e.g. non-random) timestamps are required in order
 * to prevent an exponential performance characteristic. The occasional
 * timestamp inaccuracy will not dramatically affect performance but may
 * result in more nodes being processed than strictly necessary.
 *
 * This procedure sets *boundary to the address of the base commit. It returns
 * non-zero if, and only if, there was a problem parsing one of the
 * commits discovered during the traversal.
