[PATCH 3/5] git-log.txt: fix description of <since>..<until>

First, <since> and <until> are ways to specify "revisions", not "commits", as gitrevisions.txt would indicate. Second, '<since>..<until>' is simply indicative of how users would normally want to specify the rev spec: it need not conform to this form, and can take any form that gitrevisions.txt lists. A 'git log :/quuxery' is perfectly valid, for instance. Make these two corrections to the description of '<since>..<until>' under OPTIONS.
