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.
