The reason why I pulled out `revs` was because putting the rev-list within the for-loop would cause its exit code to be lost if it ever failed. Since I've been cleaning up test scripts to not lose exit codes from git commands, I figured it'd be a bad idea to introduce an instance here ;) Thanks for the other two suggestions, though.

I wanted to point out how in the oneline case, the trailing NUL is already included, unlike in the multiple cases, so we don't need to output another one. I'll rewrite this as # the trailing NUL is already produced so we don't need to # output another one Thanks for your feedback, Denton
