While writing a commit-graph file, we store the full list of commits in a flat list. We use this list for sorting and ensuring we are closed under reachability.

The initial allocation assumed that (at most) one in four objects is a commit. This is a dramatic over-count for many repos, especially large ones. Since we grow the repo dynamically, reduce this count by a factor of eight. We still set it to a minimum of 1024 before allocating.
