describe --contains: default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given
'git describe --contains' doesn't default to HEAD when no commit is
given, and it doesn't produce any output, not even an error:
~/src/git ((v2.5.0))$ ./git describe --contains
~/src/git ((v2.5.0))$ ./git describe --contains HEAD
v2.5.0^0
Unlike other 'git describe' options, the '--contains' code path is
implemented by calling 'name-rev' with a bunch of options plus all the
commit-ishes that were passed to 'git describe'. If no commit-ish was
present, then 'name-rev' got invoked with none, which then leads to the
behavior illustrated above.
Porcelain commands usually default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given,
and 'git describe' already does so in all other cases, so it should do
so with '--contains' as well.
Pass HEAD to 'name-rev' when no commit-ish is given on the command line
to make '--contains' behave consistently with other 'git describe'
options. While at it, use argv_array_pushv() instead of the loop to
pass commit-ishes to 'git name-rev'.
'git describe's short help already indicates that the commit-ish is
optional, but the synopsis in the man page doesn't, so update it
accordingly as well.
