Currently, the documentation suggests that 'git merge-base -a' and 'git
show-branch --merge-base' are equivalent (in fact it claims that the
former cannot handle more than two revs).
Alas, the handling of more than two revs is very different. Document
this by tests and correct the documentation to reflect this.

In a repository with mainto/1.0 (to keep maintaining the 1.0.X
series) and fixo/1.0 (to keep fixes that apply to both 1.0.X
series and upwards) branches, "git-name-rev mainto/1.0" answered
just "1.0" making things ambiguous. Show refnames unambiguously
like show-branch does.

Although it was shown that the "full contamination" was not really full
during the list discussion, the series improves things without incurring
extra parsing cost, and here is a test to check that.
