The documentation assures users that "A...B" is defined as 'r1 r2 --not
$(git merge-base --all r1 r2)'. This isn't in fact quite true, because
the calculated merge bases are not sent to add_rev_cmdline().
Previously, the effect was pretty minor - all that I can think of is
that "git rev-list --ancestry-path A B ^AB_base" works, but "git
rev-list --ancestry-path A...B" fails with a "no bottom commits" error.
But now that all history walking cares about bottom commits, this
failure to note the merge bases as bottoms can lead to worse results for
"A...B" compared to "A B ^AB_base".
So ensure that the calculated merge bases are sent to add_rev_cmdline(),
flagged as 'REV_CMD_MERGE_BASE'.
