Ack. This is definitely a bug, and the patch fixes it. I wonder if it would be slightly more readable to simply get rid of the argv nonsense. Junio, please apply whichever you find more readable.

Instead, don't pass an argv to setup_revisions() at all; simply give it no arguments, and make 'HEAD' the default revision.

Bug noticed by Rocco Rutte <pdmef@gmx.net>.
