Denton Liu d86d207471 revisions.txt: mark optional rev arguments with [] ...

In revisions.txt, an optional rev argument was not distinguised.
Instead, a user had to continue and read the description in order to
learn that the argument was optional.

Since the [] notation for an optional argument is common-knowledge in
the Git documentation, mark optional arguments with [] so that it's more
obvious for the reader.
