I'd drop the second one, as "b" is not something the end user would type
from the command line (you could say "b's commit ID" but the string 'b' is
not it, unless it is a tag or something, in which case the first one that
uses 'v2.0' already illustrates it), and adjust "three" accordingly.

Other than that, I think this version is a vast improvement over what we
have.

Thanks.
