 :)   yes.  worry about that later.  optimisation.  time to think.
idea earlier (from 2 hours ago) unworkable, thought of another one,
split commit list into multi-level "virtual hierarchical
subdirectories" of say 256 entries each.  can therefore easily trip
down each "subdirectory" which will quickly get you to the right place
where the commits are different, with only a few roundtrips.  sort-of
binary search but 256-way search.  binary search not optimal here
because of multiple network round-trips.  sorry very obtuse will write
up better.
