I'm seeing some oddity in one of my repositories where the root commit is being 
output in 'rev-list' even when I pass in a reference that should exclude it 
from being output.

I've attempted to reproduce the issue in a test environment but so far have 
failed at that.

Problem details below as best as I can capture them.  

Seeing the issue with versions of git from 1.7 to 2.1.

Thanks,
-Andrew
