Subject: git-log.txt: generalize <since>..<until>
X-Git-Tag: v1.8.3-rc0~1^2~4

git-log.txt: generalize <since>..<until>

'<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.
