[PATCH] Documentation: update descriptions of revision options related to '--bisect'

[Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>]

In commit ad3f9a7 (Add '--bisect' revision machinery argument) the
'--bisect' option was added to easily pass bisection refs to commands
using the revision machinery.

This patch updates the documentation of the related options to describe
the new behavior.
