disables stack limit, so revwalk reaches first merge commit, or other author, or actual root this is basically --root, but isn't named --root because --no-limit doesn't automatically mean your absorb base is the root commit because you can't absorb through a merge, or other author without the --force-author flag but it means that absorb stack will go as far as possible, allowing linear histories to even reach real root commit should be used carefully in case theres like 100k commits without any merges and from a single author...

this is basically --root, but isn't named --root because --no-limit doesn't automatically mean your absorb base is the root commit because you can't absorb through a merge,
or other author without the --force-author flag
but it means that absorb stack will go as far as possible, allowing linear histories to even reach real root commit
