This command does not give the expected result: It reports *two* initial

$ git rev-list --parents --reverse --full-history master -- P2

The good news is: the patch really does fix your issue.  It also fixes
the test case (which uses the history from the diagram above).  And it
passes the test suite.

Thanks for picking up the topic and helping out. It does indeed work with my 
example.

I let others comment whether this patch is good. I've no clue how the revision 
walker machinery works.
