[PATCH 3/5] git-log.txt: fix description of <since>..<until>

From: Ramkumar Ramachandra <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:56:55
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

First, <since> and <until> are ways to specify "revisions", not
"commits", as gitrevisions.txt would indicate.  Second,
'<since>..<until>' is simply indicative of how users would normally
want to specify the rev spec: it need not conform to this form, and
can take any form that gitrevisions.txt lists.  A 'git log :/quuxery'
is perfectly valid, for instance.  Make these two corrections to the
description of '<since>..<until>' under OPTIONS.
