[PATCH] Removes support for O(n^2) algorithm from git-rev-list completely

[Jon Seymour <jon.seymour@gmail.com>]

This patch completely removes support for the O(n^2) bisection
algorithm from commit.c, commit.h and rev-list.c

Linus: I have included this patch to allow you to easily remove the O(n^2)
algorithm if that is your choice. I am not expecting you to do so.
