[PATCH 0/5] Generation Number v2: Fix a tricky split graph bug

Here is a bugfix for the recently-landed-in-next generation v2 topic (ak/corrected-commit-date).

This was occasionally hitting us when computing new commit-graphs on existing repositories with the new bits. It was very hard to reproduce, and it turns out to be due to not parsing commits before accessing generation number data. Doing so in the right place demonstrates the bug of recomputing the corrected commit date even for commits in lower layers with computed values.

The fix is split into these steps:

 1. Parse commits more often before accessing their data. (This allows the
    bug to be demonstrated in the test suite.)
 2. Check the full commit-graph chain for generation data chunks.
 3. Don't compute corrected commit dates if the lower layers do not support
    them.
 4. Parse the commit-graph file more often.

Thanks, -Stolee

  commit-graph: use repo_parse_commit
  commit-graph: always parse before commit_graph_data_at()
  commit-graph: validate layers for generation data
  commit-graph: be extra careful about mixed generations
  commit-graph: prepare commit graph
