specifying ranges: we did not mean to make ".." an empty set
Either end of revision range operator can be omitted to default to HEAD,
as in "origin.." (what did I do since I forked) or "..origin" (what did
they do since I forked). But the current parser interprets ".." as an
empty range "HEAD..HEAD", and worse yet, because ".." does exist on the
filesystem, we get this annoying output:
$ cd Documentation/howto
$ git log .. ;# give me recent commits that touch Documentation/ area.
fatal: ambiguous argument '..': both revision and filename
Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions
Surely we could say "git log ../" or even "git log -- .." to disambiguate,
but we shouldn't have to.
