[PATCH v3 3/3] range-diff(docs): explain how to specify commit ranges

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

There are three forms, depending whether the user specifies one, two or
three non-option arguments. We've never actually explained how this
works in the manual, so let's explain it.

+There are three ways to specify the commit ranges:
+
+- `<range1> <range2>`: Either commit range can be of the form
+  `<base>..<rev>`, `<rev>^!` or `<rev>^-<n>`. See `SPECIFYING RANGES`
+  in linkgit:gitrevisions[7] for more details.
+
+- `<rev1>...<rev2>`. This resembles the symmetric ranges mentioned in
+  the `SPECIFYING RANGES` section of linkgit:gitrevisions[7], and is
+  equivalent to `<rev2>..<rev1> <rev1>..<rev2>`.
+
+- `<base> <rev1> <rev2>`: This is equivalent to `<base>..<rev1>
+  <base>..<rev2>`.
