After testing a previous patch at larger scale, a performance issue was
detected when using git show to locate parent revisions, with a single
run of the git show command taking 2 seconds or longer in a complex repo.
When the command is required tens or hundreds of times in a run of the
script, the additional wait time is unaccepatable. Replacing the command
with git rev-parse resulted in significantly increased performance, with
the command in question returning instantly.
