In other words, my fix is to change the meaning of "revision range" to
not literally mean "range of revisions", but rather "range of
(revisions that are commits)".  I think it is more sensible than
Jonathan's fix which breaks too many existing things; most
significantly, the names rev-parse/rev-list.
