This actually does three things:

 - make "--dense" the default for git-rev-list...

Heads up.

I have not looked closely into what exactly, but the fourth
thing this does might be to break git-send-pack.

I usually use the tip of "pu" myself, but for tonight, I am
excluding the fetch-pack/upload-pack changes from Johannes when
building git for my own use, and using somewhere in the middle
of "pu" branch.  With this "--dense default" patch,
git-send-pack seems to send too few objects.  With this patch
reverted, git-send-pack seems to work again.

I'll take a look at the issue in the morning unless somebody
else beats me to it.
