The idea behind this is to extend RevWalk to track generation (or depth from
the initial wanted items.) Basic DAG walk doesn't need such data, but a query
like 'rev---' could be translated to a RevWalk yielding nth ancestors.
The default log revset can also be expressed as 0/1-th ancestors of
'(remote_branches() | tags())..'.
Also, this appears to be faster than using boundary sets, based on the
bench extracted from test_index_commits_criss_cross().
