take_full_sample() browses the undecided set in both directions: from
its roots as well as from its heads.
Following what's done on the Python side, we alter update_sample()
signature to take a closure returning an iterator: either ParentsIterator
or an iterator over the children found in children_cache. These constructs
should probably be split off in a separate module.
This is a first concrete example where a more abstract graph notion (probably
a trait) would be useful, as this is nothing but an operation on the reversed
DAG.
A similar motivation in the context of the discovery
process would be to replace the call to dagops::range in
add_missing_revisions() with a simple iteration over descendents, again an
operation on the reversed graph.
I think it would be nice to remove the magic number.
