During a revision traversal in which --max-count has been
specified, we decrement a counter for each revision returned
by get_revision. When it hits 0, we typically return NULL
(the exception being if we still have boundary commits to
show).
However, before we check the counter, we call get_revision_1
to get the next commit. This might involve looking at a
large number of commits if we have restricted the traversal
(e.g., we might traverse until we find the next commit whose
diff actually matches a pathspec).
There's no need to make this get_revision_1 call when our
counter runs out. If we are not in --boundary mode, we will
just throw away the result and immediately return NULL. If
we are in --boundary mode, then we will still throw away the
result, and then start showing the boundary commits.
However, as git_revision_1 does not impact the boundary
list, it should not have an impact.
In most cases, avoiding this work will not be especially
noticeable. However, in some cases, it can make a big
difference:
[before]
$ time git rev-list -1 origin Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.11.2.txt
8d141a1d56
real 0m0.301s
user 0m0.280s
sys 0m0.016s
[after]
$ time git rev-list -1 origin Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.11.2.txt
8d141a1d56
real 0m0.010s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m0.000s
Note that the output is produced almost instantaneously in
the first case, and then git uselessly spends a long time
looking for the next commit to touch that file (but there
isn't one, and we traverse all the way down to the roots).

When "git log" gets "--simplify-merges/by-decoration" together with

ignore commits that the first-parent traversal logic ignored when
both are in effect to work around the issue.

Split a rather heavy-ish "git completion" script out to create a
separate "git prompting" script, to help lazy-autoloading of the
completion part while making prompting part always available.
Teach "git submodule" deal with nested submodule structure where a
module is contained within a module whose origin is specified as a
relative URL to its superproject's origin.
