Subject: Avoid expanding --all when passing arguments to git log.
X-Git-Url: http://privyetmir.co.uk/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=refs%2Fheads%2Fpt%2Frev-parse-fix-2;p=gitk

Avoid expanding --all when passing arguments to git log.
There is no need to expand --all into a list of all revisions as
git log can accept --all as an argument. This avoids any command-line
length limitations caused by expanding --all into a list of all
revision ids.
