This is because the flags are stored as bits in an 32 bit int type,
and JGit needs some of those bits internally for its own work... so it
offers the application what is left, 24 bits.

No.
What you could try doing is extend RevWalk and override the
createCommit method to return your own extension of RevCommit. In your
extended RevCommit you could add additional fields to store more bits,
or add a BitSet. This will cost extra memory, so you have to weigh the
additional memory per commit against the CPU time saved by running
through the graph a fewer number of times.
