'<since>..<until>' is misleading, as there are many other forms that
'git log' can accept as an argument. Replace it with <revision range>,
referring to the section "Specifying Ranges" in revisions.txt, and
rewrite the section appropriately.

-<since>..<until>::
- Show only commits between the named two commits. When
- either <since> or <until> is omitted, it defaults to
- `HEAD`, i.e. the tip of the current branch.
- For a more complete list of ways to spell <since>
- and <until>, see linkgit:gitrevisions[7].
+<revision range>::
+ Show only commits in the specified revision range. When no
+ <revision range> is specified, it defaults to 'HEAD' (ie. the
+ whole history leading to the current commit). master..HEAD
