[PATCH] Improve git-rev-list --header output

Indent the commit header by four spaces like in the --pretty output;
the commit ID is still shown unaligned. This makes the --header output
actually usable for further processing.

I'm actually going to do a few different "header formats", and have 
pretty_print_commit() able to switch between them. IOW, this would count 
as just one form of pretty-printing.

I want to have the "dense" format, which has only the author and the top
line(s) of the description (stop at the first empty line), and a "raw"  
format, which has all the parent information etc (ie this one).
