Hi Ryan

Commit 87475f4 exposes a problem in the creation of rpms (at least on Fedora boxes). RPM automatically creates a dependency for any perl "use" lines, and the above commit fools it into creating a false dependecy for the nonexistent perl package "revs" because of this portion of the diff:

+       -S, --rev-file revs-file
+                       use revs from revs-file instead of calling git-rev-list
                        ^^ fools rpm

Obviously this creates a problem when someone goes to install the git-core rpm. Any chance we could get a small change to work around this bug in rpm?

Thanks, Sean
