Subject: history: initialize rev_info in cmd_history_reword()
X-Git-Tag: v2.54.0-rc0~67^2

history: initialize rev_info in cmd_history_reword()

git history reword expects a single valid revision argument and errors
out if it doesn't get it.  In that case the struct rev_info passed to
release_revisions() for cleanup is still uninitialized, which can result
in attempts to free(3) random pointers.  Avoid that by initializing the
structure.
