[PATCH v2] rev-list-options: clarify the usage of --reverse

From: Pranit Bauva <hidden>
Date: 2016-09-27 20:44:16
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Specify even more clearly that --reverse works only with the commits
which are chosen to be shown so as to eliminate the confusion as to
whether the first n or the last n commits with be shown when used
with `-n --reverse`.
