        A lowest common ancestor is a common ancestor none of whose

        be multiple lowest common ancestors.

        This algorithm has two phases.  Phase 1 identifies border ancestors,
        and phase 2 filters border ancestors to determine lowest common
        ancestors.

        In phase 1, border ancestors are identified, using a breadth-first
        search starting at the bottom of the graph.  Searches are stopped
        whenever a node or one of its descendants is determined to be common

        In phase 2, the border ancestors are filtered to find the least
        common ancestors.  This is done by searching the ancestries of each
        border ancestor.

        Phase 2 is perfomed on the principle that a border ancestor that is
        not an ancestor of any other border ancestor is a least common
        ancestor.

        Searches are stopped when they find a node that is determined to be a
        common ancestor of all border ancestors, because this shows that it
        cannot be a descendant of any border ancestor.
