It would be nice (though not required) to have some specific data:
benchmarks with time and memory (RSS maybe?) of Git commands using
commit-graph and those not using it, before and after this patch series.
Maybe time to run the test suite, or the perf suite...

But this is not a show stopper, in my opinion.
