Also note that for a while the "aggressive" form was used everywhere. I
think that started in fbd4a70 (list-objects: mark more commits as edges
in mark_edges_uninteresting - 2013-08-16), and was fixed in 1684c1b
(rev-list: add an option to mark fewer edges as uninteresting,
2014-12-24).

So it was present from v1.8.4.2 up to v2.3.0.
