Don't break tests when adding commits to the test repo

There are a few places in the Rspec tests where we use literals to assert the number of expected commits or the last tag information. This MR updates the tests to get the expected values from native git commands instead. This should prevent having to update assertions when new commits are added to the test repo.

mentioned in commit 76d8585a

Nice idea @mr-vinn. I have a few suggestions based on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/development/shell_commands.md .

@mr-vinn gitlab_git has been absorbed into GitLab (gitlab-ce#24374, gitlab-ce!8447), so you can open a MR in GitLab CE if you still think this is needed (be sure to create an issue first!).

Thanks.
