Actually, thinking more about it, I think we could get rid of SHOWN.

We only ever insert a commit _once_ onto the list, using the SEEN logic, so we can never pull the same commit off the list more than once. I think SHOWN was for merge-order.

But I might be wrong. I was thinking about SHOWN a bit when I did the re-organization, but didn't dare to actually touch it, so I left it alone.
