Subject: [PATCH 4/7] gitweb: Add parse_rev_list for later use

From: Jakub Narebski <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2006 15:08:08 +0200

Add parse_rev_list to generate _parsed_ list of revisions, combining
getting the list of revisions, and parsing of individual revisions
into one subroutine.  It is to avoid code like below

	open my $fd, "-|", git_cmd(), "rev-list", $limit, $hash
		or die_error(undef, "Open git-rev-list failed");
	my @revlist = map { chomp; $_ } <$fd>;

	...

	foreach my $commit (@revlist) {
		my %co = parse_commit($commit);

where parse_commit subroutine calls git-rev-list with '--max-count=1'
to parse individual commit.  Using parse_rev_list will avoid
unnecessary forks.
