From: Ramkumar Ramachandra Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 05:30:29 +0000 (+0530) Subject: git-log.txt: rewrite note on why "--" may be required X-Git-Tag: v1.8.3-rc0~1^2~3 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=00200e9ea090cbf68c33e8d00c2976ee49972fdd;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git git-log.txt: rewrite note on why "--" may be required In its current form, the note talks about separating options from "branch names" and "refnames" in the same sentence. This is entirely inaccurate, as need not be a set of branch names or ref names. Rewrite it to use the word "revision range", to be consistent with the SYNOPSIS.
