filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with --subdirectory-filter

Browse Source 
The previous ancestor discovery code failed on any refs that are
(pre-rewrite) ancestors of commits marked for rewriting.  This means
that in a situation

   A -- B(topic) -- C(master)

where B is dropped by --subdirectory-filter pruning, the 'topic' was
not moved up to A as intended, but left unrewritten because we asked
about 'git rev-list ^master topic', which does not return anything.

Instead, we use the straightforward

   git rev-list -1 $ref -- $filter_subdir

to find the right ancestor.  To justify this, note that the nearest
ancestor is unique: We use the output of

  git rev-list --parents -- $filter_subdir

to rewrite commits in the first pass, before any ref rewriting.  If B
is a non-merge commit, the only candidate is its parent.  If it is a
merge, there are two cases:

- All sides of the merge bring the same subdirectory contents.  Then
  rev-list already pruned away the merge in favour for just one of its
  parents, so there is only one candidate.

- Some merge sides, or the merge outcome, differ.  Then the merge is
  not pruned and can be rewritten directly.

So it is always safe to use rev-list -1.
