I was just saying: I don't want to introduce new terms either.  I
think revisions.txt needs to be fixed.  Under the Specifying Ranges
section:

'<rev>'::
	Include commits that are reachable from (i.e. ancestors of)
	<rev>.

This doesn't make sense because <rev> might as well refer to a blob*.
So this should say s/<rev>/<rev> that names a commit object/.

* The first line in the Specifying Revisions section: A revision
parameter '<rev>' typically, but not necessarily, names a commit
object.
