Subject: [PATCH 4/5] git-log.txt: rewrite note on why "--" may be required
Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2013 17:15:12 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1366458313-7186-5-git-send-email-artagnon@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1366458313-7186-1-git-send-email-artagnon@gmail.com>

In its current form, the note talks about separating options from
"branch names" and "refnames" in the same sentence.  This is entirely
inaccurate, as the rev spec need not be a set of branch names or ref
names.  Rewrite it to use the word "revisions".
