* nd/oneline-sha1-name-from-specific-ref:
get_sha1: handle special case $commit^{/}
get_sha1: support $commit^{/regex} syntax
get_sha1_oneline: make callers prepare the commit list to traverse
get_sha1_oneline: fix lifespan rule of temp_commit_buffer variable
This works like ":/regex" syntax that finds a recently created commit
starting from all refs, but limits the discovery to those reachable from
the named commit.

Currently :path and ref:path can be used to refer to a specific object
in index or ref respectively. "path" component is absolute path. This
patch allows "path" to be written as "./path" or "../path", which is
relative to user's original cwd.
This does not work in commands for which startup_info is NULL
(i.e. non-builtin ones, it seems none of them needs this anyway).

The documentation in revisions.txt did not match the implementation, and
the comment in sha1_name.c was incomplete.

Currently, the documentation for revisions and ranges sits in the
git-rev-parse man page, i.e. a plumbing man page, along with the
documentation of all rev-parse modes.
Split off the revisions and ranges section into an included file to
prepare for restructuring.
