[PATCH 02/10] revert: make commit subjects in insn sheet optional

[Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com>]

Change the instruction sheet format subtly so that the subject of the
commit message that follows the object name is optional.  As a result,
an instruction sheet like this is now perfectly valid:

  pick 35b0426
  pick fbd5bbcbc2e
  pick 7362160f

While at it, also fix a bug introduced by 5a5d80f4 (revert: Introduce
--continue to continue the operation, 2011-08-04) that failed to read
lines that are too long to fit on the commit-id-shaped buffer we
currently use; eliminate the need for the buffer altogether.  In
addition to literal SHA-1 hexes, you can now safely use expressions
like the following in the instruction sheet:

  featurebranch~4
  rr/revert-cherry-pick-continue^2~12@{12 days ago}
