This caused issues for example https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan-src/actions/runs/10707505997/job/29687642092
Where a PR based on an 1.12 branch of PHPStan had an equal diff to the 2.0 branch:
Then due to the parallelism involved when running the rev-list commands, it would sometimes return 1.12.x-dev and sometimes 2.0.x-dev, failing builds at random.
This makes it more deterministic, and hopefully more often correct too.
Targetting for 2.8 because it's a possibly risky change even tho a bug fix.
