Michael J Gruber 1ed6f2c5b9 Documentation: gitrevisions
Create a new man page gitrevisions(7) which contains the revsions and
ranges documentation but not more. This uses (per include) the same bits
as the pertaining section of git-rev-parse(1).

gitrevisions(7)
================
NAME
----
gitrevisions - specifying revisions and ranges for git
SYNOPSIS
--------
gitrevisions
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Many Git commands take revision parameters as arguments. Depending on
the command, they denote a specific commit or, for commands which
walk the revision graph (such as linkgit:git-log[1]), all commits which can
be reached from that commit. In the latter case one can also specify a
range of revisions explicitly.
In addition, some Git commands (such as linkgit:git-show[1]) also take
revision parameters which denote other objects than commits, e.g. blobs
("files") or trees ("directories of files").
