[RFC PATCH 3/4] name-rev: check if a commit should be named before naming it

[Alban Gruin <alban.gruin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Until now, name_rev() named every commit it found, even it the name
would ultimately be unused.

This makes name_rev() take a commit_list and check if the commit it wants
to name is part of the list.  If it is, the commit is named, and
name_rev() signals to its caller that the name should not be freed.  If
it is not, the commit is left unnamed.  In this case, the name can still
be used by the first descendant of this commit (or one of its descendants).
