Merge branch 'fix/limit-rev-list-count-to-one' into 'master'

Limit git rev-list output count to one in forced push check

## What does this MR do?
It adds `--max-count=1` to the git command used to check for forced push, this way we can have a brief yet indicative output, saving some time used to split the string returned.

Credits go to @pacoguzman for pointing me to the command option.

## Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
Don't think so.

## Why was this MR needed?
It could allow for faster check of forced pushes.

## What are the relevant issue numbers?

## Screenshots (if relevant)
