[PATCH v4 14/15] revision.c: don't show all merges for --parents

When using --parents or --children, get_commit_action() previously showed all merges, even if TREESAME to both parents.

This was intended to tie together the topology of the rewritten parents, but it was excessive - in fact we only need to show merges that have two or more relevant parents. Merges at the boundary do not necessarily need to be shown.
