Please report regressions. Here's a potential fix for a special case that we used to have to make git-rev-list --max-count=1 be faster and not unnecessarily parse any parent objects. Now, we had that special case because gitweb was apparently doing a lot of it, and quite frankly, I don't know if it still does. But basically it avoids doing the "pop_most_recent_commit()" which will look up and parse the parents, if it is obvious that it can. I'm not sure this is worth it, but it looks obvious enough. Somebody with gitweb somewhere should probably check if it still even wants this.
