Merge branch 'lt/rev-list'
* lt/rev-list: setup_revisions(): handle -n<n> and -<n> internally. git-log (internal): more options. git-log (internal): add approxidate. Rip out merge-order and make "git log <paths>..." work again. Tie it all together: "git log" Introduce trivial new pager.c helper infrastructure git-rev-list libification: rev-list walking Splitting rev-list into revisions lib, end of beginning. rev-list split: minimum fixup. First cut at libifying revlist generation
