You will need to update what you added in [PATCH 2/7] to
builtin/shortlog.c to match this in this patch.

 If width is `0` (zero) then indent the lines of the output without wrapping
 them.
 
+<revision range>::
+	Consider only commits in the specified revision range.  When no
+	<revision range> is specified, it defaults to 'HEAD' (ie. the
+	whole history leading to the current commit).  master..next
+	specifies all the commits reachable from 'next, but not from
+	'master'. For a complete list of ways to spell
+	<revision range>, see the "Specifying Ranges" section of
+	linkgit:gitrevisions[7].
Match the text you modified in 'log.txt' in [PATCH 5/7], perhaps?
+[\--] <path>...::
+	Consider only commits that are enough to explain how the files
+	that match the specified paths came to be.  See "History
+	Simplification" below for details and other simplification
+	modes.
Have you read the resulting "git shortlog --help"?  Do we even have
"below"?
++
+Paths may need to be prefixed with "\-- " to separate them from
+options or the revision range, when confusion arises.
