[PATCH 4/5] git-log.txt: rewrite note on why "--" may be required

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

In its current form, the note talks about separating options from
"branch names" and "refnames" in the same sentence.  This is entirely
inaccurate, as the rev spec need not be a set of branch names or ref
names.  Rewrite it to use the word "revisions".
