Ahh, I think I need to take it back.
As the existing code relies not just on the exit status of rev-list
but also checks if anything comes out of it, having "-n1" would not
hurt.
The case I was worried about was that we have all commits to connect
$sha1 to what are reachable from refs, but some tree/blob objects
referenced by these commits were missing. By cutting the displaying
with "-n1", rev-list may happily exit successfully after showing $sha1,
without even realizing that some trees/blobs are missing and the history
leading to $sha1 cannot be considered complete.
But because the code checks the empty-ness of $rev, this case is diagnosed
as "$sha1 is not reachable from any of the refs" correctly anyway,
so it should be OK.
