This macro may be used to iterate over revisions, so, instead of
doing:

	struct commit *commit;

	...

	prepare_revision_walk(rev);
	while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) {
		...
	}

New code should use:

	struct commit *commit;

	...

	for_each_revision(commit, rev) {
		...
	}

 The only disadvantage is that it's something magical, and the fact that
it returns a struct commit is not obvious.

 On the other hand it's documented, has the advantage of making the walking
through revisions easier and can save some lines of code.

If this is constructed like that then I would expect the code below to
be miss-compiled:

	if (condition)
		for_each_revision(commit, rev) {
		}

As it would be effectivly be:

	if (condition)
		prepare_revision_walk(rev);
	while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) {
	}

I think you'd want this to be something more like:

#define for_each_revision(commit, rev) \
	for (prepare_revision_walk(rev); \
		(commit = get_revision(rev))) != NULL); ) {
