git-log.txt: rewrite note on why "--" may be required

artagnon · gitster · commit 00200e9ea090 · 2013-04-21T23:10:51.000-07:00
In its current form, the note talks about separating options from
"branch names" and "refnames" in the same sentence.  This is entirely
inaccurate, as &lt;revision range&gt; 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.
