Do not feed rev-list an invalid SHA1 expression.

The previous round to optimize fetch-pack has a small bug that
feeds SHA1^ ("parent commit") before making sure SHA1 is
actually a commit (or a tag that eventually dereferences to a
commit).  Also it did not help culling the known-to-be-common
parents if the common one was a merge.
