Is it correct to say that this essentially re-does 656197ad3805
(graph.c: infinite loop in git whatchanged --graph -m, 2009-07-25)
in a slightly different way, in that Michał's original fix also
protected against the case where graph->state is flipped to
GRAPH_PADDING by graph_next_line() that returns false, but with your
fixup, the code knows it never happens (i.e. when graph_next_line()
returns false, graph->state is always in the GRAPH_PADDING state),
and the only thing we need to be careful about is when graph->state
is already in the PADDING state upon entry to this function?

Sorry for an overlong single sentence question ;-)

Thanks.
