We shouldn't add stuff to git-rev-parse without teaching git-rev-list and all the other tools to do the same. In fact, these days there is much less reason for git-rev-parse in the first place: it's usually used to verify a particular reference, or to just split the different argument types up from each other. Most tools don't need or use it any more (eg "gitk" will just pass its arguments directly to git-rev-list). With this, you can now do (for example) gitk HEAD --not --tags to see all the work on all the main branch that hasn't been included in a tagged version (replace HEAD with "--branches" to show all branches, of course).
