If you want to do that, I have nothing against it. However, I don't 
expect users to use that option directly. That option is used by VFS for 
Git to compute the commit-graph in the background after receiving a pack 
of commits and trees, but not by 'git gc' which I expect is how most 
users will compute commit-graphs.

If we wanted to be completely right, we would count the commits in the 
list that do not have a generation number and report that as the 100% 
ceiling.

Something like the diff below would work. I tested it in Linux by first 
deleting my commit-graph and running the following:

stolee@stolee-linux:~/linux$ rm .git/objects/info/commit-graph
stolee@stolee-linux:~/linux$ git rev-parse v4.6 | ~/git/git commit-graph 
write --stdin-commits
Annotating commits in commit graph: 1180333, done.
Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (590166/590166), done.
stolee@stolee-linux:~/linux$ ~/git/git commit-graph write --reachable
Annotating commits in commit graph: 1564087, done.
Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (191590/191590), done.
