[...] I would love to simply use the rev-list built-in to
do my work for me; but I fear that I may have much too many path
limiters than the linux command-line can handle (which if I'm correct,
can only take so many arguments).

On my system, "only so many arguments" means about two megabytes worth
of command line.

Good point.

The command line limitation, even if it is very small, shouldn't be a
problem if Tommy is interested in recreating exactly what rev-list does.

If his tool that drives rev-list or log from the command line cannot work
because his request overflows the command line, the same request will
overflow the command line for rev-list or log, so they wouldn't work
either.

For a more serious answer, see the other thread ;-).
