That pretty-prints the resulting commit messages, so
git-rev-list --pretty HEAD v2.6.12-rc5 | less -S
basically ends up being a log of the changes between -rc5
and current head.
It uses the pretty-printing helper function I just extracted
from diff-tree.c.
This mean sthat you can give a beginning/end pair to git-rev-list,
and it will show all entries that are reachable from the beginning
but not the end.
For example
git-rev-list v2.6.12-rc5 v2.6.12-rc4
shows all commits that are in -rc5 but are not in -rc4.
The "end" commit is just faking it right now, it's sorting things
purely by date, so this is _not_ a reachability analysis. Some day.
The "--header" flag causes the commit message to be printed out,
with a NUL character separator after it for parseability. This
allows you to do things like use "grep -z" to grep for certain
authors etc.
Fixes all in-code names that leaved during "big name change".

gitweb.cgi's default view is the log of the last day and git-rev-list
can stop crawling the whole repo if we have all our data to display in the
browser. Also the rss-feed query needs only the last 20 items. This
will speeds up these queries dramatically.
usage: rev-list [OPTION] commit-id
--max-count=nr
--max-age=epoch
--min-age=epoch

This allows the programs to use various simplified versions of
the SHA1 names, eg just say "HEAD" for the SHA1 pointed to by
the .git/HEAD file etc.
For example, this commit has been done with
git-commit-tree $(git-write-tree) -p HEAD
instead of the traditional "$(cat .git/HEAD)" syntax.
Make pop_most_recent_commit() return the same objects multiple times, but only
if called with different bits to mark.
This is necessary to make merge-base work again.
