Hmph.

The negative ones you can learn by giving --boundary, but I do not think
the set of starting points are something you can get out of log output.

Even if you could, you would have the same issue giving them from the
command line anyway.  The right solution would likely to be to give the
same --stdin option as rev-list to "git log", I think.
