This describes their purpose better, as we now initialize ssl and some
other global stuff in there. Calling the init function is not something
which has been optional for a while now.
This demonstrates parts of the interface for specifying revisions that
Git users are familiar with from 'git rev-list', 'git log', and other
Git commands. A similar query interface is used in out-of-core
command-line programs that browse a Git repo (like 'tig'), and may be
useful for an 'advanced search' interface in GUI or web applications.
In this version, we parse all the query modifiers we can support with
the existing logic in revwalk: basic include/exclude commits, and the
ordering flags. More logic will be required to support '--grep',
'--author', the pickaxe '-S', etc.
