[PATCH] mklog.py: Add --commit option.

[PATCH] mklog.py: Add --commit option.

[Robin Dapp]

Hi,

this patch allows mklog.py to be called with a commit hash directly.
So, instead of

 git show <commit> | git gcc-mklog

 git gcc-mklog --commit <commit>

can be used.

When no <commit> is given but --commit is specified, HEAD is used
instead.  The behavior without --commit is the same as before.

Is that useful/OK?  I find that option a bit easier to work with.

Regards
 Robin

Seems reasonable to me and probably works better with the flows some 
people are using :-)
