I do not like these.  What you are really trying to express is
"this section makes sense only in rev-list documentation", not
"the current set of documentation this section does not make
sese is git-log".  We might end up including this in some other
documents.

IOW, they should rather be "ifdef::git-rev-list[]" instead.
