Thanks for a pointer. I do recall that I found that one very promising. I can see from https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqq7eefv02i.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/ that I was mostly OK with the end-user facing documentation part, and also from https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqq36p3uxq2.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/ I was OK with the idea of exposing the computation but found that the exact command option it was done with was suboptimal; neither of these was pointing out any incorrectable flaw).
