Subject: [PATCH] gitk: Let git-rev-list do the argument list parsing
This is a fix for a problem reported by Jim Radford where an argument
list somewhere overflows on repositories with lots of tags. In fact
it's now unnecessary to use git-rev-parse since git-rev-list can take
all the arguments that git-rev-parse can. This is inspired by but not
the same as the solutions suggested by Jim Radford and Linus Torvalds.
