get_octopus_merge_bases() takes a commit_list, and tries to figure out the common bases of those commits.

get_merge_bases_many(), which is used by reduce_heads() takes a commit and a commit_list, and counts the bases of the heads against the commit specified as the first parameter.

I think get_merge_bases_many() could be even static, it is not really interesting for anything else than reduce_heads() at the moment.
