This patch introduces "-" as a method to refer to a revision, and adds tests to
test that git-log works with this shorthand.
This change will touch the following commands (through
revision.c:setup_revisions):
* builtin/blame.c
* builtin/diff.c
* builtin/diff-files.c
* builtin/diff-index.c
* builtin/diff-tree.c
* builtin/log.c
* builtin/rev-list.c
* builtin/shortlog.c
* builtin/fast-export.c
* builtin/fmt-merge-msg.c
builtin/add.c
builtin/checkout.c
builtin/commit.c
builtin/merge.c
builtin/pack-objects.c
builtin/revert.c
* marked commands are information-only.
As most commands in this list are not of the rm-variety, (i.e a command that
would delete something), this change does not make it easier for people to
delete. (eg: "git branch -d -" is *not* enabled by this patch)
