When -S or -G is used as a filter option, the resulting commit list
rarely contains all matching commits. Only a certain number of commits
are displayed and the rest are missing.

"git log --boundary -S" does not return as many boundary commits as you
might expect. gitk makes up for this in closevargs() by adding missing
parent (boundary) commits. However, it does not change $numcommits,
which limits how many commits are shown. In the end, some commits at the
end of the commit list are simply not shown.

Change $numcommits whenever a missing parent is added.

Nice catch; however, we should only update numcommits if the commits
are for the current view, i.e. if $v == $curview.

Do you want to update the patch?  If you prefer, I can update the
patch and put a note in the commit message about the issue.

Paul.
