[PATCH] doc/revisions: remove brackets from rev^-n shorthand

[Kyle Meyer <kyle@kyleam.com>]

Given that other instances of "{...}" in the revision documentation
represent literal characters of revision specifications, describing
the rev^-n shorthand as "<rev>^-{<n>}" incorrectly suggests that
something like "master^-{1}" is an acceptable form.
