Ok, I reproduced exponential behaviour when a commit with no parents is merged near the head of the kernel and a ^ argument is specified.

Fortunately a work-around is a one line change - a patch will be forthcoming shortly. The workaround will still require a full-graph scan but that is linear rather than exponential so is tolerable.

A better solution which will not require a full-graph scan will be delivered in a future patch.

Thanks for the report.
jon.
