Add git-name-rev

git-name-rev tries to find nice symbolic names for commits. It does so by
walking the commits from the refs. When the symbolic name is ambiguous, the
following heuristic is applied: Try to avoid too many ~'s, and if two ambiguous
names have the same count of ~'s, take the one whose last number is smaller.

With "--tags", the names are derived only from tags.

With "--stdin", the stdin is parsed, and after every sha1 for which a name
could be found, the name is appended. (Try "git log | git name-rev --stdin".)

+===============

+NAME
+----
+git-name-rev - Find symbolic names for given revs.
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-name-rev' [--tags] ( --all | --stdin | <commitish>... )
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Finds symbolic names suitable for human digestion for revisions given in any
+format parsable by git-rev-parse.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+--tags::
+	Do not use branch names, but only tags to name the commits
+
+--all::
+	List all commits reachable from all refs
+
+--stdin::
+	Read from stdin, append "(<rev_name>)" to all sha1's of name'able
+	commits, and pass to stdout
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+
+Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs. Say somebody
+wrote you about that phantastic commit 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a.
+Of course, you look into the commit, but that only tells you what happened, but
+not the context.
+
+Enter git-name-rev:
+
+------------
+% git name-rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a
+------------
+
+Now you are wiser, because you know that it happened 940 revisions before v0.99.
+
+Another nice thing you can do is:
+
+------------
+% git log | git name-rev --stdin
+------------
