Re: [PATCH] rev-list-options.txt: use correct directional reference

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>

SZEDER Gábor [off-list ref] writes:
The descriptions of the options '--parents', '--children' and
'--graph' say "see 'History Simplification' below", although the
referred section is in fact above the description of these options.

Send readers in the right direction by saying "above" instead of
"below".

Thanks.  

It turns out that this is not a recent regression, but was done at
f98fd436 ("git-log.txt,rev-list-options.txt: put option blocks in
proper order", 2011-03-08), which moved Commit Formatting and Diff
Formatting sections, which used to appear very early, to near the
end of the sequence.
