It turns out that the only change needed to revert the breakage was this one-liner. get_revision() used to always rewrite parents when prune and dense are specified, but the updated code simply skips during the output filtering phase the parents that would have been culled by calling rewrite_parents() unless the caller tells it that it is interested in the parent field by setting rev.parents.

-- >8 -- [PATCH] blame.c: fix completely broken ancestry traversal.

Recent revision.c updates completely broken the assignment of blames by not rewriting commit->parents field unless explicitly asked to by the caller. The caller needs to set revs.parents.
