Btw, the reason this is irrelevant is that "git rev-list" isn't even a UI. 
It's internal plumbing, and almost all of it's flags etc are directly from 
historical reasons. IOW, it does bisection because it used to be the only 
program that did any revision walking. It can do pretty much what git log 
does for the same reason.

So breaking git rev-list because somebody thinks it's "UI" is odd totally 
misses the whole _point_ of the command.
