git.rev_list is incorrect for tags about grit HOT 3 CLOSED

Yeah. That's definitely not right. I'm assuming this is somewhere in the git-ruby implementation since the behavior is different from git-rev-list. I'm not super familiar with that code but I'll see what I can figure out.

I wrote that pretty late at night and didn't trace it. I've gone back and confirmed that repo.commits(ref, options) does call rev_list, and I can fool Grit into calling out to native by passing :format => "UTF-8" to git.rev_list (not that I really want to go down that path).

it looks like Grit::GitRuby::Repository#walk_log determines the 'real' SHA correctly but the code that follows goes awry, since adding
return [commit_sha] if opts[:max_count] == 1 && opts.keys.size == 1
after commit_sha is determined gets me the correct value. It has to be said that that's not really a satisfactory fix for all kinds of reasons.
