Description

Optional performance work: read .git/objects/info/commit-graph and use generation numbers to accelerate topological sorting and merge-base computation; benchmark-driven (BenchmarkDotNet end-to-end and revwalk/merge-base micro benchmarks).

Part of #5031 — see docs/design/managed-git-migration.md for the full design.

Research direction

Start with docs/design/managed-git-migration.md to understand the managed reader design and how this Phase F work fits. Then inspect the BenchmarkDotNet end-to-end benchmark and the revwalk/merge-base micro benchmarks. Done means the commit-graph and generation-number approach is implemented and the named benchmarks demonstrate its performance impact.
