gitk: Fix missing commits when using -S or -G

When -S or -G is used as a filter option, the resulting commit list rarely contains all matching commits. Only a certain number of commits are displayed and the rest are missing.

"git log --boundary -S" does not return as many boundary commits as you might expect. gitk makes up for this in closevargs() by adding missing parent (boundary) commits. However, it does not change $numcommits, which limits how many commits are shown. In the end, some commits at the end of the commit list are simply not shown.

Change $numcommits whenever a missing parent is added.

Nice catch; however, we should only update numcommits if the commits are for the current view, i.e. if $v == $curview.

Do you want to update the patch? If you prefer, I can update the patch and put a note in the commit message about the issue.

Sure, feel free to update the patch as you see fit.

Here is an updated version of the patch. Feel free to change it if anything is missing.

Thanks, applied, with slight tweaks to the commit message.
