From: Denton Liu Date: Sun, 05 May 2019 16:07:07 GMT Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] revisions.txt: mention ~ form Message-ID: <1ba823024edddfb0e6ccb92647137eccf5d4c7d0.1557072286.git.liu.denton@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: In revisions.txt, the '^' form is mentioned but the '~' form is missing. Although both forms are essentially equivalent (they each get the first parent of the specified revision), we should mention the latter for completeness. Make this change.
