I see it as tuning, not switching.  It's like setting the number of
commits where bitmaps are taken. We can see the commit cache as a
table, where columns are commit properties. We have a column for date,
one for the first parent. Users can choose to have a third column for
the second parent, or another one for root tree sha-1. The
implementation could be made generic to support caching any <n>
sha1-columns.
