[PATCH 1/2] rev-list: introduce --count option

From

<a1981bddc4deb4125824ecb02a914c2931543430.1276169807.git.trast@student.ethz.ch>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1276169807.git.trast@student.ethz.ch>

Add a --count option that, instead of actually listing the commits, merely counts them.

This is mostly geared towards script use, and to this end it acts specially when used with --left-right: it outputs the left and right counts separately. Previously, scripts would have to run a shell loop or small inline script over to achieve the same. (Without --left-right, a simple |wc -l does the job.)
