Good point. The command line limitation, even if it is very small, shouldn't be a problem if Tommy is interested in recreating exactly what rev-list does. If his tool that drives rev-list or log from the command line cannot work because his request overflows the command line, the same request will overflow the command line for rev-list or log, so they wouldn't work either.
