Teach git-commit-graph to inspect the objects only in a certain list

A general question on this series:
How do commit graph buildups deal with garbage collected commits?
(my personal workflow is heavy on rebase, which generates lots of
dangling commits, to be thrown out later)

The second half of the sentence makes it sound like once a
commit is in the graph it cannot be pulled out easily again, hence
the question on the impact of graphs on a long living repository
which is garbage collected frequently.

This is another place that I failed to update when I stopped automatically including commits from the existing graph. As of v4, the new graph should only contain commits reachable from the commits discovered by the three mechanisms (inspecting all packs, inspecting the --stdin-packs, or reading the OIDs with --stdin-commits). Thus, commits that are GC'd will not appear in the new graph.

If a commit has been GC'd, then parse_commit_gently() will never be called since it is called after lookup_object() to create the struct commit. The only case we could have is where we navigate to a parent using the commmit graph but that parent is GC'd (this does not make sense).

It may be helpful to add an "--additive" argument to specify that we want to keep all commits that are already in the graph.

AFAICT you could just run
     git commit-graph write --set-latest [--delete-expired]
as that actually looks up objects from outside the existing graph files,
such that lost objects are ignored?

I had the impression that these triplet-variables, that are used in
ALLOC_GROW are allo X, X_nr and X_allow, but I might be wrong.

"git grep ALLOC_GROW" confirms your impression. Will fix.

alloc_lines has been initialized before, so why redo it here again?
Also what is the rationale for choosing 128 as a good default?
I would guess 0 is just as fine, because ALLOC_GROW makes sure
that it growth fast in the first couple entries by having an additional
offset. (no need to fine tune the starting allocation IMHO)

I was unaware that ALLOC_GROW() handled the alloc == 0 case. Thanks.

strbuf_detach returns its previous buf.buf, such that you can combine these
two lines as
     lines[nr_lines++] = strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL);

Technically we do not need to strbuf_release(&buf) here, because
strbuf_detach is always called, and by knowing its implementation,
it is just as good.
