You are of course right. I changed my mind and forgot to revert that one.

Here is what I'll do.
[PATCH] Revert "filter-branch docs: remove brackets so not to imply revision arg is optional"

This reverts commit c41b439244c51b30c60953192816afc91e552578, as we decided to default to HEAD when revision parameters are missing and they are no longer mandatory.
