git: Add '--' to "git rev-list" runs to avoid ambiguous arguments

If there is a branch and a file with the same name, git-arr will fail to
generate, as git will complain when running git rev-list.

For example, if there is both a file and a branch called "hooks" in the
repository, git-arr would fail as follows:

=== git-arr running: ['git', '--git-dir=/some/repo', 'rev-list', '--max-count=1', '--header', u'hooks'])
fatal: ambiguous argument 'hooks': both revision and filename
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./git-arr", line 457, in <module>
    main()
  File "./git-arr", line 452, in main
    skip_index = len(opts.only) > 0)
  File "./git-arr", line 388, in generate
    branch_mtime = r.commit(bn).committer_date.epoch
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'committer_date'

To fix that, this patch appends a "--" as the last argument to rev-list, which
indicates that it has completed the revision list, which disambiguates the
argument.

While at it, a minor typo in a comment is also fixed.
