[PATCH 4/7] grep: re-order rev-parsing loop

We loop over the arguments, but every branch of the loop hits either a "continue" or a "break". Surely we can make this simpler.

The final conditional is:
  if (arg is a rev) {
	  ... handle rev ...
	  continue;
  }
  break;
We can rewrite this as:
  if (arg is not a rev)
	  break;
  ... handle rev ...

That makes the flow a little bit simpler, and will make things much easier to follow when we add more logic in future patches.
