revision: do not fallback to default when rev_input_given is set

If revs->def is set (as it is in "git log") and there are no
pending objects after parsing the user's input, then we show
whatever is in "def". But if the user _did_ ask for some
input that just happened to be empty (e.g., "--glob" that
does not match anything), showing the default revision is
confusing. We should just show nothing, as that is what the
user's request yielded.
