[PATCH] Tidy up some rev-list-related stuff

This patch tidies up the git-rev-list documentation and epoch.c, which
are in severe clash with the unwritten coding style now, and quite
unreadable.

It also fixes up compile failures with older compilers due to variable
declarations after code.

The patch mostly wraps lines before or on the 80th column, removes
plenty of superfluous empty lines and changes comments from // to /* */.
