The containment algorithm for 'git branch --contains' is different

When a commit-graph file exists with generation numbers computed,
we can avoid this merge-base calculation when the target commit has
a larger generation number than the target commits.
You have "target" twice in above paragraph; one of those should probably
be something else.
Thanks. Second "target" should be "initial".

Why not use "return ret;" instead of "return 0;", like the rest of the
code [cryptically] does, that is:
+ if (commit->generation > min_generation)
+ return ret;
Sure.
Thanks,
