Documentation: git-rev-list's "patterns"

Petr Baudis · Junio C Hamano · commit a5c2d26a044a · 2007-05-18T17:12:10.000-07:00
git-rev-list(1) talks about patterns as values for the
--grep, --committed etc. parameters, without going into detail.
This patch mentions that these patterns are actually regexps.
