Thanks.

It would have saved me a lot of time if you wrote that this option has been a no-op since abd6970 (cherry-pick: make -r the default, 2006-10-05), but the commit didn't remove it from the usage string, and it somehow survived 9509af6 (Make git-revert & git-cherry-pick a builtin, 2007-03-01) and later f810379 (Make builtin-revert.c use parse_options, 2007-10-07), and it is about time to stop advertising it.
