 Forget the other 4 patches. Here's one that fixes the thing we
 discussed on IRC, i.e. ambiguous ID's are handled correctly
 (unfortunately without giving a proper warning message).
 
 This one also assumes that there is no reason for checking revs
 returned by git-rev-list with git-rev-parse --revs-only.

 	for anyone remotely human. And it's less scary, too.
