Also, git-rev-parse.

Finally, this trivial patch makes "git-rev-list" also able to handle not being in the top-level directory, which makes it possible to do "git log" and "git-whatchanged" at any point in the directory structure.

Subject: Make "git-rev-list" work within subdirectories

This trivial patch makes ""git-rev-list" able to handle not being in the top-level directory. This magically also makes "git-whatchanged" do the right thing.

Trivial scripting fix to make sure that "git log" also works.
