[PATCH 2/7] revisions.txt: clarify the .. and ... syntax

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

In <rev1>..<rev2> and <rev1>...<rev2>, if either <rev1> or <rev2> is
omitted, it defaults to 'HEAD'.  Add this detail to the document.
