rev-parse: fix meaning of rev~ vs rev~0.
I think it would make more sense for rev~ to have the same guarantees that
rev^ has, namely to always return a commit. I would also suggest that not
giving a number would have the same effect of defaulting to 1, not 0.
Right now it's a bit illogical, but at least it's an _undocumented_
illogical behaviour.
This patch makes '^' and '~' act the same for the default count (i.e. both
default to 1), and also have the same behaviour for a count of zero.
Before (no discernible pattern):
[torvalds@woody git]$ git rev-parse v1.5.1 v1.5.1^0 v1.5.1~0 v1.5.1^ v1.5.1~
45354a57ee7e3e42c7137db6c94fa968c6babe8d
89815cab95268e8f0f58142b848ac4cd5e9cbdcb

45354a57ee7e3e42c7137db6c94fa968c6babe8d
After (fairly logical):
[torvalds@woody git]$ git rev-parse v1.5.1 v1.5.1^0 v1.5.1~0 v1.5.1^ v1.5.1~
