All right. Always good to have comment and code match.


FYI: the contains_test() function described in this comment only checks
the candidate, and never access candidate commit parents.  All
recursion, which naturally includes checking parents, is in the
contains_tag_algo().

I guess that the code was refactored, but comment had not been changed.
