[PATCH 5/7] git-log.txt: rewrite note on why "--" may be required

From: Ramkumar Ramachandra <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:56:56
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 <revision range> need not be a set of branch names or
ref names.  Rewrite it to use the word "revision range", to be
consistent with the SYNOPSIS.
