Documentation: do not convert ... operator to ellipses

jrn · gitster · commit b9190e79134c · 2010-08-20T14:16:51.000-07:00
The symmetric difference or merge-base operator ... as used by
rev-list and diff is actually three period characters.  If it
gets replaced by an ellipsis glyph in the manual, that would
stop readers from copying and pasting it.
