+"""Usage: %prog [options] [<commitref>]*
+
+If no <commitref>'s are supplied, it defaults to HEAD.
+
+Calculates the generation number for one or more commits in a git repo.
+
+Generation number of a commit C with parents P is defined as:
+  generation_number(C, []) = 0
+  generation_number(C, P)  = max(map(generation_number, P)) + 1
+
+This number can be used to order commits relative to each other, as long as for
+any pair of the commits, one is an ancestor of the other.
+
+Since calculating the generation number of a commit requires walking that
+commit's entire history, this script caches all calculated data inside the git
+repo that it operates on in the ref 'refs/number/commits'.

I don't think it'll work on Windows. This is because TemporaryFile opens the
file in non-shareable mode (!) on Windows. Please confirm.

Totally works :)

This is somewhat dangerous. If someone uses a generator as an import to targets,
it'll be exhausted here and line 207 will not be executed, or at least the first
None item will be silently skipped.
