Merging of the log-tree-opt structure with rev-info structure
did not work out very well and it broke things that did not want
diff options and/or rev options.
This is an alternative approach to define a combined interface
that can be used by commands that wants both. The use of it is
opt-in to reduce the risk of breaking existing programs.
We might want to slurp "setup_revisions() places things in
pending objects list" part from Linus's earlier attempt.
