I do not think that any commits need to be changed, but only
"rev-list --topo-order" to build its own private cache of
sequence numbers for commits.

AFAICS, a generation number is pure redundant information, as a single
run of "rev-list --topo-order" can recalculate it. If it can not find
the number in its private per-repository cache of sequence numbers,
it calculates it the hard way (same as currently) and puts the found
numbers into the cache afterwards.

The cache should be similar in size to a pack index of a fully packed repository,
but probably could be way smaller, by storing only one sequence number for
a linear sequence of commits with only one parent each.
