I'm not certain this testcase will actually trigger the bug for everyone,
since I don't know the order of commits used by git rev-list.  It does
trigger it for me.  What you need is a history that looks like
    B--D
   /  /
  A--C
with the master branch pointing at D, and have "git rev-list --all" show
these commits in the order
  C
  D
  B
  A
If you have such a repository, "git fast-export --all" will give
instructions to create a master branch that only contains D, B, and A.
